Split Brain Surgery 113
Split Brain Surgery 113 – in split brain surgery, the bundle of fibers that connect the two cerebral hemispheres (the corpus callosum) is cut to reduce the severity of epileptic seizures.
Perceptual Asymmetries 115
Perceptual Asymmetries 115 — Left-Right imbalances between the cerebral hemispheres in the speed of visual and auditory processing.
Endocrine System 116
Endocrine System 116 — consists of glands that release Hormones 116 into the system.
Hormones 116
Hormones 116 — Hormones help to control bodily functions.
Pituitary Gland 117
Pituitary gland 117 — releases a great variety of hormones that fan out around the body, stimulation action in the other endocrine glands.
