Not performed much: Lobotomies used to be performed for people with psychiatric disorders in which a disconnection of the hemispheres was considered to help them alter their behavior patterns. Unfortunately people frequently had disconnection disorders and became extremely passive, lacked initiative, vegetative, or many other difficulties. It frequently removed the personality of the affected person.
