Either Cerebral Specialization, cerebral localisation, cerebral asymmetry, hemispheric specialisatio.
Brain lateralization .
The brain has a left cerebral hemisphere and a right cerebral hemisphere, as well as a stem.
The cerebral hemispheres account for about 83% of total brain mass.
The medial longitudinal fissure divides the brain into left and right hemispheres.
The corpus callosum is a portion of the brain that joins the two hemispheres of the cerebrum.
Lateral
The brain is divided into two hemispheres caleed the Left and Right hemispheres.
The two sides of your brain are called the left and right hemispheres.
Studying split-brain patients can help understand laterality in the general population by revealing how brain functions are lateralized. These patients have had their corpus callosum severed, leading to separate processing in the two brain hemispheres, offering insights into hemisphere specialization. By examining their cognitive abilities and behaviors, researchers can gain a better understanding of how the two hemispheres interact and specialize in individuals without this condition.
hemispheres
Zaidel's study on commissurotomy patients found that split-brain patients displayed differences in processing visual information across the two hemispheres. Specifically, the left hemisphere tended to specialize in language-related tasks, while the right hemisphere showed strengths in spatial abilities and emotion recognition. This research provided insights into the functional specialization of the two hemispheres of the brain.
Right and left Hemispheres.
Roger Sperry being awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1981. Sperry received the prize for his discoveries concerning the functional specialization of the cerebral hemispheres. With the help of so called "split brain" patients, he carried out experiments and for the first time in history, knowledge about the left and right hemispheres was revealed..
lateralization.
Corpus collosum
The brain has a left cerebral hemisphere and a right cerebral hemisphere, as well as a stem.
The transverse fissure.
The band of fibers connecting the left and right hemispheres of the brain is called the corpus callosum. It facilitates communication between the two hemispheres, allowing them to work together seamlessly.
