Resumen:
The present paper reviews some of the most important findings concerning the disconnection syndrome. It describes the commisurotomized patients' performance on linguistic, sensory, emotion, attentional, memory, and reaction time tasks; exponds several physiological mechanisms underlying behav ioral deficits on such patients and proposes some processes by which patients behave normally on daily tasks. The role of the corpus callosum as an interhemispheric integration structure is analyzed as well as some epistemological issues raised by the Disconnection Syndrome.
