Abstract
The effects of transcallosal surgery on interhemispheric transfer of i nformation were investigated in five patients who underwent partial se ction of the corpus callosum for evacuation of a brain tumor. In compa rison with normal controls, postoperative findings indicated subtle mo tor and/or sensory manifestations of hemispheric disconnection which t ended to resolve overtime. However, in no case were the disconnection effects disabling in the performance of daily activities.
