".....," laments the singer?
Hello again,
please what does the author mean here?
The neo-cortex is devided into two halves, often called the left brain and the right brain. This is the part of the brain about which most people know something 1. Even a popular country western tune will use this insight: "this ain't no left brain- right brain thing. This ain't no thinking thing. This is a heart thing," laments the singer 2. Although popular as an expression, few know the difference between the two hemispheres of the neo-cortex.
1: is it in a sense that everyone knows a little about it?
2: I didn't understand what he means here
please help me.
