Evolution of the opposed cerebral hemisphere control

Parts of the visual system and the motor control can be explained by the evolution of the brain and an additional stage in the evolution of the eye. Today, in the visual system the left visual field is represented in the right hemisphere and the right visual field in the left hemisphere (Figure 1, Right). In addition, the left hemisphere controls the right part of the body, and the right hemisphere controls the left part of the body.
