| مستخلص: | The idea that the mind might be composed of distinct conscious entities goes back at least to the mid-19th century, and was at first based on the bilateral symmetry of the brain, with each side seemingly a mirror-image replica of the other. This led to early speculation as to whether section of the forebrain commissures might lead to separate, independent consciousnesses. This was not put to the test until the 1960s, first in commissurotomized cats and monkeys, and then in humans who had undergone commissurotomy for the relief of intractable epilepsy. Initial results did indeed suggest independent consciousness in each separated hemisphere, but later findings have also revealed a degree of mental unity, especially in some perceptual functions and in motor control. Some of these findings might be interpreted in terms of subcortical connections or external cross-cuing, and also address questions about the nature of consciousness in a more concrete way.
