Neurones make contact through synapses on branches called dendrites. In areas of association cortex such as the anterior temporal cortex, right hemisphere pyramidal neurones have more synapses overall, and especially more synapses far from the cell body, than those of the left hemisphere. What this means is that they make not only more connexions overall, but connexions over a far larger area.49 This in turn means that the areas connected are more differentiated one from another, and that there will be a variety of types of communication going on.
