Question

If the corpus callosum is severed, how might this affect the way we perceive the world?

Answer 1

The corpus callosum is a part of brain that lies above the thalamus and connects the two hemispheres of the brain. It maintain link of communication between two of them. Its function is to transfer neural messages in between right hemisphere and left hemisphere. The severed corpus callosum will act as having two brains in one body. Each part of the hemisphere will have its own perception, speech and thought. There is a possibility that the individual wears a pant due to the signals from one hemisphere and the other hemisphere of brain signals to down the pant. There is a lack of coordination in the functions performed if corpus callosum is severed.

Answer 2

The procedure involves severing the corpus callosum, the main bond between the brain's left and right hemispheres. After a split-brain surgery the two hemispheres do not exchange information as efficiently as before.
