Sensory input is inhibited, and then reverberant, new sensory activations become permanent memories. Thereby, one’s map of the world, inclusive of oneself, is updated for the morrow. Motor output is inhibited, and then unused, preparatory motor reverberations are activated. Thereby, buffer circuits are emptied for the morrow.
Right-handedness.

Humans are predominantly right-handed because of the position of the heart: left-handedness carries an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. The heart was tilted to the left of the sternum in bipedal primates. The human right hand is controlled by the left cerebral hemisphere and by the right cerebellar hemisphere, which bilateral control means that in…

In states of readiness, potential movements reverberate with a degree of activation that is under inhibitory control: on the front foot; ready, steady, go! Movement of any muscle groups is more likely when there is a general reduction in inhibition, due to fatigue or alcohol. Movement of any muscle groups is more likely when there…

The nerves of the brain may be activated or inhibited. Ideas are called to mind. Ideas are put to the back of the mind. Ideas come to mind unbidden. Ideas come to mind in response to perceptions, as apperceptions. Attention is activation of what is relevant and inhibition of what is not relevant. Inhibition may…
