Abstract
We know from several anatomical studies that the left- and right-sided posterior parietal areas (areas 5 and 7 of Brodmann) are richly interconnected through the corpus callosum. It would therefore seem likely that any behavioural function of one posterior parietal area could become accessible to the other, ‘corresponding’, parietal area through the corpus callosum. On this view, section of the corpus callosum in the midline could prevent the interchange of information relevant to behaviour between the left and right posterior parietal regions. For example, a monkey might fail to transfer tactile learning between the hands after division of the corpus callosum.
