Split-Brain and Lateralisation

Hey there, brain enthusiasts! Noah and Ella are curious: What's the main focus of the research into split-brain and lateralisation? Dive into this brainy adventure with them!

• The effects of brain injuries on motor skills

• The relationship between brain hemispheres and sensory processing

• The impact of environmental factors on brain development

• The division of functions between the left and right hemispheres of the brain

Hey there! Mia was wondering, while studying the brain's functions, which hemisphere is primarily responsible for speech?

• Left hemisphere

• Right hemisphere

• Both hemispheres equally

• Neither hemisphere

Imagine Kiara and Charlie are learning about the brain in their neuroscience class. They come across an intriguing scenario about split-brain conditions. If an object is shown only to the left hemisphere, what would a person with this condition perceive?

• The object's shape

• The object's color

• The name of the object

• Nothing, as the left hemisphere cannot perceive objects

Hey there! Amelia and Anaya were wondering, what does hemispheric lateralisation refer to in the context of brain processes?

• The division of the brain into upper and lower halves

• The fact that mental processes in the brain are specialised

• The communication between the brain and the spinal cord

• The uniform functioning of the brain's hemispheres

Hey Aarav, Kiara, and Anaya! Can you figure out which structure acts as the bridge connecting the left and right hemispheres of the brain?

• Thalamus

• Corpus callosum

• Pons

• Medulla oblongata

Hey brainiacs! Anaya, Henry, and Oliver are curious: Where does each neural functioning that occurs in the brain primarily take place?

• Throughout the entire brain uniformly

• In the frontal and occipital lobes

• In either the left or right hemisphere

• Only in the left hemisphere

Hey there! Daniel, Freya, and Anaya are discussing a fascinating topic in their neuroscience class. They're curious to know who introduced the concept of Split Brain Research back in 1967. Can you help them out?

• Paul Broca

• Carl Wernicke

• Roger Sperry and Michael Gazzaniga

• Santiago Ramón y Cajal

Imagine you're a neuroscientist like Aarav! What would be your primary focus if you were researching Split Brain?

• Studying the effects of brain tumors

• Understanding the function of the brainstem

• Investigating the effects of severing the connection between the two hemispheres

• Exploring the role of the frontal lobes with Isabelle and Henry

Imagine you're a neurosurgeon like Anaya, and you're about to perform a groundbreaking surgery associated with Split Brain Research. Which part of the brain would you sever in this procedure?

• Amygdala

• Hippocampus

• Corpus callosum

• Cerebellum

Imagine you're in a neuroscience class with Oliver and Kiara, and today's topic is a unique surgery involving the corpus callosum. How common is this surgery, according to the research?

• It is a standard procedure

• It is rarely done

• It is the most common neurological surgery

• It is only done in experimental settings
