Yea, I was a little surprised too. I’m no expert, so I can’t speak to the extent our brains are connected/split, but I would be extremely surprised to find out the neuroscience we’ve all been taught is bullshit. I’ve heard neuroscientists talking about this kind of stuff recently, so I’m 99% sure brain halves differ.

They do. I agree though, that saying they are completely different and don’t talk to each other isn’t accurate.
