The right side of your brian controls what side of your body?

The left side of your brain controls: Vision The future The left side of your body The right side of your body ============================ The left side of most people's brain handles sequential information, such as the common languages, counting, and perhaps if-then logic. The right side of most people's brain does more parallel processing -- handling two or more simultaneous inputs of information. Music appreciation is often a "right-brain" function. Motor control and sensory appreciation of one side of the body is processed by the other side of the brain -- left brain controls right side of body. I'm talking about cortical areas of the brain; the pineal nucleus is not a paired structure. Some people's brain is not (so) lateralized.

It will depend on where the brain tumour is, the size of the tumour, and how the indivdual reacts. Headaches are a common side effect.

Is it more common to be right brained dominant or left brain dominant?

I'm not sure but I would say "Left brained". They say that the left side of your brain controls the right side of your body and the right side of your brain controls the left side. Most people are right handed and their dominant eye is their right one. Therefore I would guess it's the left.
