Connecting the left and right hemispheres of the brain is a large bridge of nerve fibers called the corpus callosum. Little was known about this section of the brain until neurosurgeon Joseph Bogen cut the corpus callosum to relieve patients with symptoms of severe epilepsy. People who had this surgery gained relief and appeared normal, but could not name an object placed in their left visual field. These tests confirmed that in most people the left hemisphere is more verbal and the right hemisphere excels in visual perception and recognition of emotion. Damage to the right hemisphere can produce inattention, neglect, emotional instability. Both hemispheres often work in concert to produce integrated behaviors.
