Your two brain halves cooperate only because of one 200-million-fiber cable. Sever it and each hemisphere runs its own agenda — same skull, two minds that stop telling each other anything.

EXPLAINED (ACCURACY-CHECKED)

The corpus callosum is a commissure of roughly 200 million axons connecting the cerebral hemispheres; when it is cut (callosotomy / classic split-brain studies) each hemisphere can process independently and inter-hemispheric transfer is lost.

Established neuroanatomy: corpus callosum ~200M axons; classic split-brain / callosotomy findings (Sperry, Gazzaniga) show independent hemispheric processing after section.
