Some functions are lateralised, meaning it is performed by one hemisphere rather than the other

Explore the key concepts of hemispheric lateralisation and split-brain research, including the roles of the left and right hemispheres in cognitive functions, language processing, and neural plasticity. This summary highlights significant studies, such as those by Sperry and Gazzaniga, and discusses the implications of lateralisation versus plasticity in brain function. Ideal for students in cognitive neuroscience and psychology.

Psychology

Hemispheric lateralisation and split-brain research

Explore the groundbreaking findings of split-brain research in biopsychology, focusing on hemispheric lateralisation and its implications for language and emotional processing. This summary covers key studies, including Sperry's experiments, and evaluates the distinct roles of the left and right hemispheres in cognitive functions. Ideal for psychology students seeking to understand the complexities of brain lateralisation and its effects on behavior.

Split-Brain Functionality Insights

Erica 

Explore the concept of brain function localisation in biopsychology, including key theories, hemispheric lateralisation, and the roles of Broca's and Wernicke's areas. This summary covers evidence from neurosurgery and neuroimaging, highlighting the relationship between brain structure and cognitive functions. Ideal for psychology students preparing for exams.
