I don't have time to look it up right now, but I will later and get back to you. Here's the stuff I think I'm remembering correctly:
The right prefrontal region is involved with mood, and associated with depression. (I may have this backwards, but I think it's the right.)
I think the thalmic region -- damn my brain, memory's shot right now thanks to meds -- houses the structures that act as sort of traffic monitors for attention and timekeeping duties, and maybe some movement behaviors? 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.
I'll look up the details later today, when I get home tonight, and post them then if no one else has. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.
