Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Split-brain research involves a surgical procedure called callosotomy, which involves cutting the corpus callosum, the bridge that connects the two hemispheres of the brain. This was done to treat severe epilepsy and resulted in the separation of the two halves of the brain, allowing researchers to study their individual functions. A lobotomy involves removing or severing parts of the frontal lobe of the brain, a hemispherectomy involves removing an entire hemisphere, and a craniectomy involves removing part of the skull.
