Just a thought..when you have any kind of severe, prolonged stress- enough to give you PTSD, anxiety, depression- it is your left hippocampus and pre-frontal regions which show shrinkage by MRI or PET scan. The left temporal region tends to get larger, in order to compensate for language and memory deficits, but the right hippocampus and pre-frontal areas show little or no change, no matter how severe the stress. Maybe that is one reason why visual/spatial skills are prominent among us!
