Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In split-brain syndrome, the corpus callosum, which connects the two hemispheres of the brain, is severed. This means that information received in the right visual field, processed by the left hemisphere (which controls speech and language), can be verbalized. However, information received in the left visual field, processed by the right hemisphere, cannot be easily verbalized because the right hemisphere does not primarily control language functions and cannot send the information to the language centers in the left hemisphere due to the severed corpus callosum.
