Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Adrian's ability to name the apple when it is shown to his left cerebral hemisphere but not his right suggests that communication between the two hemispheres has been disrupted. The structure responsible for this communication is the corpus callosum. Therefore, it is likely that Adrian damaged his corpus callosum in the skiing accident. Options A, B, and C are not related to interhemispheric communication and are therefore not the best choices.
