    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roger_Wolcott_Sperry

    Roger Wolcott Sperry (August 20, 1913 – April 17, 1994) was an American neuropsychologist, neurobiologist, cognitive neuroscientist, and Nobel laureate who, together with David Hunter Hubel [1] and Torsten Nils Wiesel, won the 1981 Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine for his work with split-brain research.

  3. Split-brain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Split-brain

    Roger Sperry and his colleagues pioneered research showing that creating another lesion (done to relieve otherwise untreatable epilepsy), in the connections between the left and right hemispheres, revealed that the right hemisphere can allow people to read, to understand speech, and to say some simple words. Research over the next twenty years ...

  4. Joseph Bogen - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Bogen

    His early surgical interventions to control epilepsy laid the foundation for the development of modern ideas about the unique identities of the right and left brains. His work played a crucial role in the development of the split-brain experiments that won Caltech's Roger Sperry the 1981 Nobel Prize in physiology.

  5. Dual consciousness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dual_consciousness

    Notable researchers in the field include Roger Sperry, one of the first to publish ideas involving a dual consciousness, and his famous graduate student, Michael Gazzaniga. Their results found a pattern among patients: severing the entire corpus callosum stops the interhemispheric transfer of perceptual, sensory, motor, and other forms of ...

  6. Lateralization of brain function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lateralization_of_brain...

    Research by Michael Gazzaniga and Roger Wolcott Sperry in the 1960s on split-brain patients led to an even greater understanding of functional laterality. Split-brain patients are patients who have undergone corpus callosotomy (usually as a treatment for severe epilepsy), a severing of a large part of the corpus callosum. The corpus callosum ...

  7. Functional specialization (brain) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Functional_specialization...

    During the 1960s, Roger Sperry conducted a natural experiment on epileptic patients who had previously had their corpora callosa cut. The corpus callosum is the area of the brain dedicated to linking both the right and left hemisphere together.

    Sperry's most significant work, and certainly his most important work for psychology, was his split brain studies, research that began in 1959. Working with cats, monkeys, and humans, Sperry severed the corpus callosum, the major commissure connecting the two hemispheres of the brain. In humans, these brain surgeries were done to control epilepsy.

  9. Corpus callosotomy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corpus_callosotomy

    Corpus callosum. A corpus callosotomy (/ k ə ˈ l ɔː s (ə) t ə m iː /) is a palliative surgical procedure for the treatment of medically refractory epilepsy. [1] The procedure was first performed in 1940 by William P. van Wagenen. [2]
