AP PSYCHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The brain adapts, through reorganization, in people born without a corpus callosum who lack a bridge between the two cerebral hemispheres. It is thought that these mechanisms enable the brain to compensate for the losses by recreating connections to other brain regions using alternative neural pathways.

Detailed explanation-2: -Agenesis of the corpus callosum (ACC) is a birth defect in the brain. The corpus callosum, a bundle of nerves connecting the left and right sides of the brain, is either missing or partially missing. Symptoms range from minor intelligence issues to developmental delays and seizures.

Detailed explanation-3: -Since information cannot be directly shared between the two hemispheres, split-brain patients display unusual behaviours, particularly concerning speech and object recognition.

Detailed explanation-4: -Proper communication between the left and right sides of the brain is critical for the development of advanced language skills, according to new research by UC San Francisco scientists. In most people, areas related to language processing are located in the brain’s left hemisphere.
