I've been psychoanalyzed, with some improvement in behavior and thought. Where did that originate, and how did it improve me? Was the fold always there and just needed turning on, or did analysis create it? Interesting questions ... So this makes me sane?

This affects all of us MUCH more drastically than people who are hallucinating, particularly where the person is a testifying cop (not that ALL cops are sociopathic, but this may account for the profusion of "lies" that may really be re-creations from objective evidence) I absolutely concur that sociopathic people re-create scenes that they perhaps disremember (not saying whether on purpose or not), rather than purposely making up stuff.

Let's say I'm a lawyer and I have to cross examine a witness that doesn't seem credible. Can I bring in a MRI scanner to see if they have this fold? Without the fold, may I assume they likely don't remember the actual events, they just made them up the events that could have happend. Interesting.

L - Fold in left brain R- Fold in Right brain LR- folds in both left and right brain O- No fold Fn Factor + interested in fiction - Not interested in fiction LR+ is preferred choice So, Like Blood Group, Now we have Brain Group.

L – Fold in left brain
R- Fold in Right brain
LR- folds in both left and right brain
O- No fold

Fn Factor
+ interested in fiction
- Not interested in fiction

LR+ is preferred choice

Would it possibly lend greater resistance to dementia, or is this structure in particular affected?

Our brains are not “the source of everything we perceive”.. that’s a typical mistake.. we perceive things that are external. Your fold may not be very pronounced.
