A student researching the brain has taken notes:
• Left and right hemispheres process information differently • The corpus callosum connects the two hemispheres • Split-brain patients have had their corpus callosum severed • Studies on split-brain patients revealed hemisphere specialization • Both hemispheres normally work together seamlessly
The student wants to explain how scientists learned about brain hemispheres.
The corpus callosum connects the brain's two hemispheres.
Scientists learned about hemisphere specialization by studying split-brain patients whose corpus callosum was severed—revealing how each hemisphere processes information differently.
Both brain hemispheres normally work together seamlessly.
Left and right hemispheres process information differently.
Correct Answer: B
Choice B. Split-brain studies revealing specialization explains how scientists learned.
