Corpus Callosum in meditation
Morphometric differences observed in the corpus callosum are mostly localized to the anterior regions, which are thought to preferentially connect to the prefrontal brain regions. These prefrontal brain regions include the frontopolar cortex, anterior insula, orbitofrontal cortex, and anterior and mid-cingulate cortices. Therefore, prefrontal structural increases may follow structural changes of particular corpus callosum areas that reciprocally connect bilateral prefrontal gray matter regions.

Visualizing the Corpus Callosum
A patient undergoes a surgical procedure that severs the main bundle of nerve fibers connecting the two hemispheres of their brain. Afterward, an image of a common object is flashed exclusively to their left visual field. Based on the typical specialization of the brain hemispheres, which of the following outcomes is most likely?
