The between-systems memory interference model describes the inhibition of non-hippocampal systems of memory during concurrent hippocampal activity. [75] Specifically it was found that when the hippocampus was inactive, non-hippocampal systems located elsewhere in the brain were found to consolidate memory in its place.
Studies have found that individuals with schizophrenia have a lack in brain asymmetry thus reducing the functional efficiency of affected regions such as the frontal lobe. [21] Conditions include leftward functional hemispheric lateralization, loss of laterality for language comprehension, a reduction in gyrification, brain torsion etc. [22] [23]
In rodents, the hippocampus is positioned so that, roughly, one end is near the top of the head (the dorsal or septal end) and one end near the bottom of the head (the ventral or temporal end). As shown in the figure, the structure itself is curved and subfields or regions are defined along the curve, from CA4 through CA1 (only CA3 and CA1 are ...

The Yakovlevian torque in the cerebrum (exaggerated). Redrawn from Toga & Thompson (2003). [1]Yakovlevian torque (also known as occipital bending (OB) [2] or counterclockwise brain torque [3]) is the tendency of the right side of the human brain to be warped slightly forward relative to the left and the left side of the human brain to be warped slightly backward relative to the right.
Since the brain regions are so specialized in their functioning, damages done to specific areas of the brain can cause specific type of damage. Damage to the left side of the brain can lead to language discrepancies, i.e. difficulty in properly identifying letters, numbers and words, inability to incorporate visual stimuli to comprehend ...
One prediction of the theory was the aurofacial asymmetry, which was then found empirically, [5] albeit by one of the authors of the original theory. Phenomena the theory can explain include: Contralateral organization of the brain; Left-sided orientation of the heart; Asymmetric position of the gastrointestinal tract, the liver, and the pancreas
Although the brain area was thought to be unique to humans, almost like the anatomic version of the linguistic "language organ" of Noam Chomsky, it was shown to be similarly leftward asymmetric in chimpanzees and other great apes but not other primates, [15] as was a related, rightward asymmetric, brain region the planum parietale that is ...
