Forty-five years ago, Roger Sperry, Joseph Bogen and I embarked on what are now known as the modern split-brain studies. These experiments opened up new frontiers in brain research and gave rise to much of what we know about hemispheric specialization and integration. The latest developments in split-brain research build on the groundwork laid by those early studies. Split-brain methodology, on its own and in conjunction with neuroimaging, has yielded insights into the remarkable regional specificity of the corpus callosum as well as into the integrative role of the callosum in the perception of causality and in our perception of an integrated sense of self.
45年前，罗杰·斯佩里、约瑟夫·博根和我开启了如今被称为现代裂脑研究的工作。这些实验开拓了大脑研究的新领域，并让我们对半球特化与整合有了诸多了解。裂脑研究的最新进展建立在这些早期研究奠定的基础之上。裂脑研究方法，无论是单独使用还是与神经成像技术相结合，都让我们深入了解了胼胝体显著的区域特异性，以及胼胝体在因果关系感知和自我整体感知中的整合作用。
