The theory of reinvestment (2008, background): “It is worth also considering the views of Gazzaniga (2000), based on studies of split-brain patients, that the left hemisphere plays a pivotal role in generating hypotheses, and conscious selfregulation processes (see also Niebauer, 2004, who discusses the role of the left hemisphere in…”
The Role of the Corpus Callosum in Interhemispheric Transfer of Information: Excitation or Inhibition? (2005, background): “These “split-brain” patients have been extensively studied by Sperry and other researchers to determine the role of the corpus callosum in various cognitive tasks (for reviews of this literature see Gazzaniga, 2000; Sperry, 1974).”
Relative Size versus Controlling for Size (2005, background): “In addition, the corpus callosum figures prominently in the biology of brain lateralization, since it is the largest tract of fibers connecting the cerebral hemispheres (Clarke and Zaidel 1994, Gazzaniga 2000, Hoptman and Davidson 1994, Ringo et al. 1994).”
White matter hemisphere asymmetries in healthy subjects and in schizophrenia: a diffusion tensor MRI study (2004, background): “Of interest here, we note that the anterior corpus callosum interconnects the prefrontal lobes of both hemispheres (Makris et al., 1999) and is reported to be involved in the higher order transfer of semantic information (Gazzaniga, 2000).”
Neural Circuitry Underlying the Regulation of Conditioned Fear and Its Relation to Extinction (2008, positive): “The reason for the left hemisphere bias is not clear, but it may be due to the cognitive, linguistic nature of the task instructions, or the left hemisphere involvement in tasks that require the on-line cognitive interpretation of stimuli (Gazzaniga, 2000).”
Learned dynamics of reaching movements generalize from dominant to nondominant arm. (2003, background): “For instance, in callosotomy patients, when visual information is restricted to one hemisphere, that hemisphere can produce a reaching movement with the ipsilateral arm (Gazzaniga 2000).”
What is right-hemisphere contribution to phonological, lexico-semantic, and sentence processing?: Insights from a meta-analysis (2011, neutral): “According to Gazzaniga the RH lexicon is a wholeword lexicon as opposed to the LH one composed of sublexical units (Gazzaniga, 2000).”
Organisation of executive functions: Hemispheric asymmetries (2012, background): “However, given that nature has provided the brain with an anatomofunctional organisation into two hemispheres (eg, Corballis, 2009 ; Gazzaniga, 2000 ; Hellige, 1993 ; Zatorre, Belin, & Penhune, 2002 ), it seems also critical to embark in a deconstruction of prefrontally based processes along the”
Hierarchical consciousness: the Nested Observer Windows model (2024, background): “Consistent with this proposal, the brain is theorized to be a modular network of isolated cognitive systems that transiently interact (Fodor 1983, Gazzaniga 2000, Zeki 2003).”
