Document Summary

Cut connections within the brain to try to isolate the site where the seizures begin. After, a seizure that begins at that site is less likely to spread throughout the cortex. Split brain- condition where the corpus callosum is surgically cut and the two hemispheres of the brain do not receive information directly from each other. Usually the corpus allows the right brain to know what the left is doing, but not for split. I(cid:373)ages fro(cid:373) the (cid:448)isual field"s left side go to the right he(cid:373)isphere. Images from the (cid:448)isual field"s right side go to the left he(cid:373)isphere brain patients. Because left side is dominating for language, the patient will report the picture on the right side only. It can only see the right side image. The right brain can act on its perception, if the picture on the left was a spoon, the right side can easily pick out the spoon and the left hand gets it.
