Abstract
To learn a simple pattern discrimination an organism must be able to integrate its response experience with reinforcement information. The importance of cortical pathways in this integration can be tested with people who have had midline section of the corpus callosum and anterior commissure in an effort to control the interhemispheric spread of seizures1.
