. On performing an autopsy on a 60 year old man, a medical student found that the man had no corpus callosum. Apparently the man had functioned well neurologically; his medical history reported no neural dysfunctions.  What is the function of the corpus callosum ? Explain why the lack of corpus callosum ,  although surprising at autopsy , did NOT affect the man functionally.

The corpus Callosum connects the right and left side of the brain. This allows for communication between the right and left hemisphere. The person would be able to live fine because all bodily functions are still in tact. But if you were to show the person a picture out of his left eye, and ask him to name it he would not be able to, because the left eye is connected to the right side of the brain, and the left side of the brain is responsible for talking.
