    The document discusses brain lateralization and sex differences. It includes a table labeling the left and right hemispheres and their functions. Key terms defined include asymmetrical lateralization, corpus callosum, Broca's area, central nervous system, neurotransmitters, synaptic transmission, prosopagnosia, and prefrontal cortex (PFC) damage. Studies from Damasio et al. (1994) and Sperry (1968) are referenced in relation to evaluating sex differences in lateralization. Visual agnosia and prosopagnosia are mentioned in relation to PFC evaluation.
