I am new to the neurosciences but find them fascinating.this may seem
like a stupid question but :is it known what makes the left brain think
diffrently than the right(like neuronal arrangement,etc)?
thanx


Everybody probably has a different opinion.  But consider the
following: 

Grabowsha, A. and Nowicka, A. (1996, November) Visual-
Spatial-Frequency Model of Cerebral Asysmmetry: A Critical
Survey of Behavioral and Electrophysiological Studies.  Psychological
Bulletin, pg 439-449
Grabroska and Nowicka (1996) provided supporting evidence for
frequency sensitive processing of information regarding the
hypothesis that the left and right hemispheres are sensitive
to frequency charactertistics for processing spatial information.
Specifically research supported that low-spatial frequencies are
useful for for responding to large elements in a visual scene and
high-spatial frequencies for small elements in a visual scene.

This would match up with a wavelet interpretation of neuro
processing.

The left and right brains could be using correlational opponent
wavelets to process information.  Habituation is a reflection of
wavelet interaction and wavelet filtering.

MacLeod, K. and Laurent, G. (1996, November 8) Distinct Mechanizm for 
Syncyhronization and Temporal Patterning of Odor-Encoding Neural
Assemblies.  Science pg 976-979.
Further evidence is suggested by MacLeod and Laurent (1996) work
for correlational opponent processing via wavlets for olfaction.  There
have been many reports of oscillatory synchronization for most
sensory systems caused by evoking stimuli.  Odor evoked oscillations
of 30 to 60 hertz in vertebrates and 20 to 30 hertz in insects.  Efforts
to understand these events have not been sucessful.  Neurons firing
in specific response to an odor can be blocked yet the synchronization
wave continues.

Correlational Opponent Processing suggest that the brain uses
carrier or reference wavelets for a particular function like olfaction.
The stimulus is translated into information overwritten on to the reference
wavelet.  Molecules would have a unique vibratory characteristic
that would stimulate olfactory nerves at a ratio blending and
timing cycles.  Using entrainment the code for what a stimulus
means could be extracted from the reference frequency.  Olfactory
(inhibitory) after images should be observable.

Staddon, J.E.R. and Higa, J.J. (1996, October) Multiple Time Scales
in Simple Habituation. Psychology Review. pg 720-733.
Staddon and Higa (1996) provide confirming evidence on habituation.
The two main characteristics of habituation are rate sensitivity and
stimulus specificity.  

The feedfordward and feedback models are similar to a weighted history 
suggested by correlational opponent processing.  The filter qualities of 
a wavelet and frequency of a wavelet would be highly sensitive to the
rate of stimulus presentation.  This would even be supportive of a
capcitor like leaky-integrator model of habituation and a feedback integrator 
model.  Staddor and Higa would agree with the "idea that
every stimulus has both excitatory and inhibitory effects" and habituation is 
a process of equilibruim of these events.  "The monotonic habituation of C. 
elegans seems to refelect only inhibitory processes with different time 
scales" suggest the wavelet nature of habituation.

Phillips, W.A. and Singer, W. (1996, August) In search of common foundataions 
for cortical computations. Accepted for peer commentary by Behavioral and 
Brain Science  
Phillips and Singer (1996) effectively argues that basic common
foundations for cortical computation exist in all neuro tissues.
Any answer would have to account for Longterm potentiation, Longterm 
desentization, synchronization, and how information effects neurons.

To me the answer is Correlational Opponent Processing which is available from

Abstract:

The correlational opponent-processing theory using wavelets, quasi-
holographic memory and eigenfunction equivalence generates new insights into 
many areas of psychology.  The model seems especially strong in joining many 
contradictory scientific facts into an unifying whole.  Significant 
implications from the model exist for a wide range of psychological topics and 
principles.

The correlational opponent-processing theory is a neuro homeostasis
integration psychological immune theory that would connect phenomena such as 
sensation, perception, movement, habituation, memory, representations, 
learning, cognition, personality, psychopathology, paradoxical integration, 
emotion, and evolution of the mind under a unified theory.

All brain activity may be viewed as an effort to assimilate and
accommodate all experience into neuro-energy-efficient eigenfunction
equivalence or quasi-holographic correlational opponent-processing
recordings.

Stimuli causes brain wave modulations which interact with carrier or
reference wavelets.  This interaction creates a quasi-holographic
stimulus wavelet.  The opponent-process creates an opposing quasi-
holographic memory wavelet.  Through this process the correlations or 
associations of experience are encoded to memory.  Every wavelet, regardless 
of source or type, triggers an opposing wavelet.  The function of the opposing 
wavelet or feedback is to diminish the
intensity of neural processing.  A wavelet potential is stored or hard
wired as long-term potentiation opponent-processes in nerve cells and
the interconnections between nerve cells.  The wavelets are quasi-
holographic and allow recovery of information due to the interaction of
reference carrier wavelets and stimuli, thought, motor movement, and
emotional arousal.
