Left hand era begins

Transcript

Not sure who needs to know this, but if you start brushing your teeth with your non-dominant hand, it will stimulate neuroplasticity, which creates new neural connections. So you're basically your brain is on autopilot when you use your dominant hands. So when you switch, the brain is forced to form new connections to get through that task. And that's what creates the new neural pathways.
