Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Split-brain surgery involves severing the corpus callosum, which connects the two hemispheres of the brain. This can lead to situations where a person cannot verbally identify objects in the hand opposite to their dominant language hemisphere (usually the left hemisphere for right-handed people), because the sensory information cannot be transmitted to the language-processing area of the brain.
