BIOCHEMICAL ASYMMETRY OF THE BRAIN - MYTH OR REALITY

Unilateral brain damage results in the appearance of oligopeptide fact or of complete asymmetry (CAF) producing a lateralized effect on spina l centers during intracisternal administration. The action vector of C AF is determined by the side of brain damage. The right- and left-side d CAF differ in chemical structure. Their CAFs are species-unspecific. The findings suggest that there is a chemical labeling of the right a nd left brain in the mammals (including man). From this point of view, fundamental and medical aspects of biochemical brain asymmetry are an alyzed.
