Document Summary
Right visual field processed on left side of the brain (occipital lobe) People see a whole on the right hemisphere. Damage to the left hippocampus affects linguistic ability. Damage to the right hippocampus affects no verbal abilities. Seizures happen when the brain is having an uncontrollable amount brain activity. Seizures that are so severe may require temporal lobectomy. Seizures are most likely to start in the remedial temporal lobe. Orpus collostomy: preventing seizures from moving to other parts of the brain. Removing the entire front part has the same effect as if the entire corpus was removed. Agenesis of corpus collosum: born without corpus collosum.
