    Realize that the neuroscience on lateralization (lateral = on the side) of brain functions is controversial. However, it is known that patients with brain lesions (e.g. damage due to car accidents) are able to compensate for functional loss in one hemisphere (a side of the brain). The prospects for a reconfiguration of neurons (brain cells) depends on the extent and location of the lesion as well as age. The younger, the greater the plasticity (the mobility and adaptability of neurons) of the brain. Thus, learning gets more difficult as we age.
