As can be expected, information that is presented to the left visual field is registered by receptors on the right side of the eye and transmitted to the right hemisphere (which has the visual-spatial capacity). Since the corpus callosum enables the both hemispheres to share their information, patients with no corpus callosum have trouble recognising words (requiring language processing) that are presented to their left visual field as the information registered by the retina will be first sent to right hemisphere, which does not have the ability to "speak" to the participant and will not be able to identify the word. After little or no success at recognition the information will try to cross to the left for help with processing. However, the bridge between the two (the corpus callosum) has been severed and therefore the patient is unable to successfully ...
