Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Severing the corpus callosum, which connects the two hemispheres of the brain, leads to the two sides of the brain being unable to communicate effectively. As a result, one side of the brain does not know what the other side is doing. This was observed in cats by Myers and Sperry.
