Many people are familiar with the idea of asymmetry in the brain. For example, some well-known areas for language are on the left side. It is possible for some left-handed people to have a brain that is completely flip-flopped, so for people like this the same language areas would be on the right side, for example. However, other left-handed people have a brain just like right-handed people, but just have the left hand dominant. What percentage of left-handed people fit either the flip-flopped or non-flip-flopped categories?
(Also, it occurs to me that there might be some right-handed people who have flip-flopped brains, but then right-hand dominant.)
