Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Split-brain research involves the surgical procedure known as callosotomy, which involves cutting the corpus callosum that connects the two hemispheres of the brain. This procedure was often used to treat severe epilepsy and allowed researchers to study the functions of the two hemispheres independently. Lobotomy involves the removal or damage to frontal lobes of the brain, hemispherectomy involves the removal of one hemisphere of the brain, and craniectomy involves the removal of a portion of the skull.
