It is Monday morning, so you know what that means. It is time for another edition of Science Sunday, and today we are testing Mark’s brain with a simple activity you can try at home. Specifically, we are testing the corpus callosum, a large bundle of nerve fibers that connect the two sides of our brain. How well do the two sides of your brain communicate and what exactly can that tell us about your corpus callosum? Watch the full Science Sunday segment below to learn more.
Please note: This test is not diagnostic or meant to provide any type of medical advice. This is simply a fun activity to try at home.
There is so much more Science Sunday to explore. Check out the full gallery of segments on our blog: https://ctsciencecenter.org/blog_categories/science-sunday/.
