Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Split-brain patients may initially develop two competing conscious experiences because the corpus callosum, which connects the two hemispheres of the brain, has been severed. Over time, the brain may learn to compensate for this division, but initially, split-brain patients may struggle with conflicting perceptions or actions. However, they do not exhibit "no neuropsychological sequelae" as described in A or continue to have one unified conscious experience, as described in B.
