Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Split-brain patients have had their corpus callosum severed, which means that information processed in one hemisphere of the brain cannot be transmitted to the other hemisphere. As a result, split-brain patients can only use verbal expression about information processed in the left hemisphere of the brain. The left hemisphere is primarily responsible for language and verbal communication.
