The Brain, the Split Brain and the Split Brain Patient - Comments

@ roro3015x

Hey. Thanks for the advice! If I get chance I will be sure to look into it

Reading this article reminded me of a chapter that I read about last year in a book called Introduction to Psychology by Atkinson and Hilgard. unfortunately I am unable to remember the page number but the topic was on how people with epilepsy (aka people whose left and right brain do not interact which causes seizers), can identify what a object is without seeing it. It is very interesting and I highly recommend it even though it is a old textbook but it can be found in nearly any library.

As it is to me,

@Lyndon Lockwood

Don't worry about it. I just didn't want you to be misinformed (or to make sure you weren't misinformed); the science is a passion of mine.

@ Astrid.
They should apply comment liking on here. You're totally right lol, the Corpus Callosum is the connective nerve XD I am out of practise, summer should be band

I would just like to point out one small error; the Corpus Callosum is not the fissure that separates the two halves but rather the large nerve that conjoins them. The fissure itself is called the Medial Longitudinal Fissure. Also, do not be fooled, while the brain is separated both halves touch; they're simply not neurologically connected (except for the Corpus Callosum). This can all be seen here in a lab picture of mine; the large white interconnector is the Corpus Callosum and the, we'll call it divit for lack of better words (it looks like two hills meeting; to better help, it is the reason why the corona radiata, the large white pieces of either side, don't touch. It's the separation between them), between the left and right sides is the Medial Longitudinal Fissure.

Other than the anatomical errors though, I quite enjoyed this as an aspiring psychiatrist.
