18. What part of Marci s brain did the neurosurgeon cut that resulted in her having a split brain?
Corpus Callosum
Side View of Corpus Callosum
19. How can Marci identify what her left hemisphere saw? Think carefully before you answer and remember that Marci s speech area is located in her left hemisphere.
20. How can Marci, who is no longer blindfolded and has taken her RIGHT HAND out of the bag, identify the object?
21. This question has 2 parts First, which part of her brain was damaged and caused her to speak in a broken, halting manner but did not interfere with her understanding what she hears or reads? Second, in which lobe of the brain is this area located?
The Human Brain: Subdivisions of the Cerebral Cortex
22. This question is difficult, so spend a little time thinking about your answer. Suppose it were possible to transplant a human brain into a chimp. Would the transplanted human brain be able to control the face, arms, legs, and other parts of the chimp s body?
