I need to look that up. The asymmetry isn't out of average, though. Most of us are pretty asymmetric, men more so than women.Thalamaus is primarily sensory relay area, amongst many other things.
Hyothalums is geared towards hormonal release and other homeostatic functions.
Epithalamus is biological ryhthms, onset of puberty etcI actually think woman are more lateralized than men.
My memory aint doing to well either, so we may both be wrong!
