A study by the HSE Centre for Language and Brain has confirmed the role of the corpus callosum in language lateralisation, ie the distribution of language processing functions between the brain's ...

The human brain includes two hemispheres connected by a bundle of nerves. The left hemisphere controls movement for the right side of the body, while the right hemisphere directs the left side. The ...

How do the brain's hemispheres communicate for memory? A new study identifies a right-to-left hippocampal circuit essential ...

Severing the connection between the two halves of the brain reveals how the hemispheres function. The two hemispheres of the brain communicate via a bundle of fibers called the corpus callosum. For ...

At first glance, the human body looks symmetrical: two arms, two legs, two eyes, two ears, even the nose and mouth appear to be mirrored on an imaginary axis dividing the faces of most people. And ...

In findings that raise a variety of questions about how our brains work, and even about the nature of consciousness, UC Santa Barbara researchers and collaborators report that only a small section of ...

A study by the HSE Centre for Language and Brain has confirmed the role of the corpus callosum in language lateralization, ie the distribution of language processing functions between the brain's ...

But researchers were concerned about whether this procedure might have other, less desirable effects. What happens when the right and left sides of the cerebral cortex—responsible for an enormous ...
