the right and left brain specialisation, and the endocrine system
1
Q
visual input in split-brain.
A
the hemispheres share the
information from the two halves of
the visual field, but in split-brain
patients, the corpus callosum is
severed, and the two hemispheres
cannot communicate. Hence,
the experimenter can present a visual
stimulus to just one hemisphere at a
time.

Q
what does the endocrine system do?
A
The endocrine glands
secrete hormones into the
bloodstream. These
hormones regulate a variety
of physical functions and
affect many aspects of behaviour.
