A PRESENTATION BY AMELIE NILSSON & EMELI PALM SPLIT-BRAIN SURGERY & THE BRAIN HEMISPHERES

The corpus callosum is a huge bundle of nerve fibers found in mammalian brains. It connects the left and right hemispheres of the brain, and is responsible for most of the communication between the two CORPUS CALLOSUM

Roger Sperry R.W. Sperry was a neuropsychologist, neurobiologist and Nobel laureate who in company of David Hunter Hubel and Torsten Nils Wiesel won the 1981 Novel Prize in Medicine for his work on split-brain research.

EXAMPLE EXPERIMENT

OPTICAL ILLUSION – RIGHT/LEFT DOMINANCE? Focus on the foot!

Medication can control seizures in most people with epilepsy, however for about 30% of patients, they aren't effective or are intolerable. In some cases, brain surgery may be an option or the only option. FIELD OF APPLICATION: EPILEPSY
