[edit] Gender stuff
There is too much of this gender difference stuff, and not enough about function, etc... --Saulbey 15:03, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
I suspect the entire last section on "studies on the corpus callosum" has been taken from a textbook or other online source. It might be wise to replace it. --Canuck-Errant 02:50, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
what about Dreisen & Raz (1995) ?
I was hoping to see some more details about the corpus callosum role in cognition. For examples, is there a latency in communication between the hemispheres? Additional evidence in breakdown in communication if damaged (beyond a full severing)?

[edit] Multitasking
Is it generally known to be a trait more commonly found in females? It would be nice to see that verifyed by an external source. Whatcanuexpect 22:44, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
No this was fallaciously inserted into the article by a feminist. Men are known (and studies show) to be better multitaskers. The thinner corpus collosum is sometimes offered as a partial explanation. Isolation in the hemispheres leads to being more focused. Communication between the hemispheres causes a lot of interference and makes multitasking difficult. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.36.19.57 (talk) 06:09, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] cleanup
I haven't even read, and this is first time I'm adding a cleanup tag, knowing that I should be doing the cleanup myself instead. I just don't have the willing, knowledge or even time to do it at this moment, although I am spending some time to find out how to properly use the tag. So, maybe I'll just go on the "articles needing attention" or "cleanup listing" and check off one from the list to keep my on ratio 1:1. Oh, anyway, what I meant is that definitely someone should pay attention to the obvious section needing cleanup, about the physiology. --Caue (T | C) 13:24, Tuesday 2006-10-31 (UTC)
I removed "A psychological experiment was done by Sperry using epileptic participants that have a split brain and this proved that the two hemispheres are completly separate in these subjects i they only see things on one side of their vision field." because it was badly worded and seemed incomplete- can someone with more knowledge work this back in if it is relevant? the infamous rmx (talk) 11:44, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
