maybe he could talk to himself to relay some of the info

Hi Ms. Branham!
-
They should have interviewed both of him, surely it feels horrible to be the half-brain that cannot speak when asked a question. they should let the one of him that can't speak write (or however) to give the "other him" a chance to express it's opinions...
The discussions about "his" behavior aren't clear - which him? The left or the right?
-
@DEARMINTA What about the other one of you?

This is a great clip. I've been looking for good media that could illustrate split brain to my community college students. Thank you.

If you change the face on the young man, he's my son. Even the mannerisms are alike. He was diagnosed when he was 10.

What? My 10 year old little boy loves showers... a problem with Psychology is it is so general and based on such narrow stats...

@Varmyth the brain is so plastic and so to answer yoru question, yes.

@Aquarya The brain is like a 1995 Ford Thunderbird... It over compensates; It has many redundant systems. The human brain is no different. There are other bundle of nerve fibers in the brain that will compensate, a detour, may be annoying but will still get the job done. Agensis of the corpus callosum is an amazing natural phenomenon that only a very lucky select few ever get to experience. I am glad I have the disorder. I finally have something to exploit other then a pretty face ;)
My son has this. He was diagnosed when he was 15 years old. By not being diagnosed sooner and by us not really understanding what this meant;he missed out on early intervention that I believe,(no documented proof or evidence proven through research that I am aware of) would have been extremely beneficial to him; therapy similar to that provided now to autistic kids.
I'm proud of these kids for their continued efforts to function in a world that is to them, mysterious in many ways.
GO TONY!!
