For Cerebral Hemispheres we have a term and definition in Human Body.

Cerebral Hemispheres (Human Body)

the two interconnected halves of the brain, also known as the cerebrum. In the higher mammals this forms the cerebral cortex and is the largest part of the brain. Each hemisphere receives impulses conveying the senses of touch and vision largely from the opposite side of the body. Auditory input comes from both sides. The cerebral hemispheres are not equal: in every individual, one side of the brain is dominant. The dominant hemisphere controls language, mathematical and analytical functions, as well as determining whether the individual will be left or right-handed. The non-dominant hemisphere is concerned with spatial concepts, recognition of faces and some aspects of music.
