RIGHT BRAIN
- The right hemisphere has a way of preparing and processing information other than the left. It is an integrating hemisphere, specialized in sensations, feelings and special audio and visual skills, like music or art, but not verbal. It integrates various types of information (sounds, images, smells, y feelings) and transmits them as a whole. In it the perception or spatial orientation, the power to grasp or express emotions or control the nonverbal aspects of communication are located. In addition it is also related to intuition or remembering faces, voices or sounds
Aside from Old Town, there are three other main neighborhoods in Alexandria. Each is different in their own way, but the neighborhoods blend 18th and 19th century architecture with modern amenities. Neighborhoods include: Old Town, Del Ray, West End and Carlyle/Eisenhower, each with their own arts, dining, shopping and history.
