Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Split-brain surgery involves cutting the corpus callosum, which is the main connection between the two cerebral hemispheres. This surgery results in greatly reduced communication between the two hemispheres, as they can no longer share information as effectively as before. Visual information is one type of information that is affected by this surgery, but other types of information are also affected. Therefore, choice C is the correct answer.
