Modern neuro- and psychophysiological findings on commissurotomized ("split-brain") patients seem to confirm psychoanalytic theories. Twelve commissurotomized patients and one patient who had a right hemispherectomy showed an impoverishment of dreams, fantasies and symbolization. This might have been due to an interruption of the preconscious stream between the two hemispheres, which causes a separation of word-presentations from thing-presentations, as well as to a predominance of a feedback-free primary process in the right hemisphere. The similarity in operational thinking of psychosomatic and split-brain patients leads the author to hypothesize a "functional commissurotomy" in cases of severe psychosomatic disturbances.
对接受连合部切开术（“裂脑”）患者的现代神经和心理生理学研究结果似乎证实了精神分析理论。12名接受连合部切开术的患者和1名接受右半球切除术的患者表现出梦、幻想和象征化能力的匮乏。这可能是由于两个半球之间的前意识流中断，导致语词表象与事物表象分离，以及右半球中无反馈的初级过程占主导地位。身心疾病患者和裂脑患者在操作性思维上的相似性，促使作者推测在严重身心障碍的情况下存在“功能性连合部切开术”。
