Asymmetry in cerebral hemispheres and thymus lobes during realization of humoral immune response in mice.
We studied the role of functional asymmetry in mouse brain and thymus in the realization of humoral immune response. We concluded that not only nervous system asymmetry, but also immune system asymmetry and the relationship between cerebral hemispheres and cells of the right and left thymus lobes play an important role in the regulation of immune response.
