to the StudyWalks catalog
State

The cerebral cortex folds into two hemispheres connected by the corpus callosum, each divided into four lobes: frontal, parietal, temporal, and occipital.

Show

A split-brain patient whose corpus callosum is cut can pick up an object with one hand but not name it, depending on the field.

Watch for

Each hemisphere's functions are largely redundant with the other's, despite some being localized to one side.
