The Gazzaniga Reports

The Gazzaniga Reports refer to studies and findings by neuroscientist Michael Gazzaniga, particularly regarding the functioning of the brain's hemispheres. His research, especially with split-brain patients (those who have had their corpus callosum severed to treat epilepsy), revealed that each hemisphere has specialized functions. For example, the left hemisphere is typically involved in language and analytical tasks, while the right hemisphere handles spatial awareness and creativity. Gazzaniga's work has significantly advanced our understanding of brain function, consciousness, and how different parts of the brain communicate and interact with each other.
