4. attention in split- brain patients: body, causal perception. 15. hemisphere asymmetry: hemotopic, heterotopic, interpreter found inferior to the anterior portion of the corpus callosum (genu). Connects certain areas of the temporal lobes, including the 2 amygdalae. more common in left hemisphere. If damage occurs here, one may become depressed. deficit in motor planning, which is more likely to occur if individual suffers left hemisphere legions. Split-brain patients can use either hemisphere to direct attention to positions in either the left or the right visual field. This conclusion was based on studies using a modified version of the spatial cuing task. However, they cannot simultaneously direct each of their hemispheres to divergent visual fields. the middle portion of the corpus callosum much better in the right hemisphere. It runs along the longitudinal fissure. splitting the brain. A task that requires a person to listen to one of two different messages being presented simultaneously, one to each ear, through headphones.
