Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The split-brain procedure involves severing the corpus callosum, which connects the two hemispheres of the brain. Since language functions are primarily located in the left hemisphere and the right hemisphere controls the left side of the body, a person with a split-brain will not be able to verbally describe an object processed by the right hemisphere because the information cannot cross over to the language centers in the left hemisphere.
