Split Brain- Happens when the Corpus collosum is severed. Usually because of a surgical proceure, used to stop seizures in epileptics.  *(images seen from the right side are transmitted to the left and vice versa)
-The Visual cortex is in the occipital lobe, in the back of the head, this is where we "see" images.
-The Auditory cortex is in front of the Visual; this is where we "hear" -it is not counter (right ear to right brain, left ear to left brain)
-Motor cortex is between the Frontal and the Periatal lobe. (controls motor neurons) -Is Counter.
-Behind it, in the periatal lobe, is the Sensory cortex, where sensory neurons "report to"
