A member asked:
Interested to know if people that had a split brain operation to reduce seizures and schizophrenia lose some of their propriception sense?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Split brain: patients have the potential for a whole host of disconnection syndromes. It comes down to where the damage existed in the brain prior to the epilepsy surgery. Those with right parietal lobe pathology causing seizures may develop so called "Alien Hand Syndrome" characterized by loss of awareness of their left hand when placed out of view ( eg behind ones back). They are unable to find their hand !
