VISUAL FUNCTION OF THE FOREBRAIN COMMISSURES IN THE CHIMPANZEE.

Interocular transfer of learned pattern discrimination tasks in chimpanzees with sectioned optic chiasma is dependent on the forebrain commissures. This function is sustained by the splenium and the anterior commissure, the former pathway being the more capable.

Direct and transcallosal induction of touch memories in the monkey.

A monkey, after corpus callosum transection, will fail to recall through one hand tactual tasks that he has learned through the other hand. However, if a monkey has already learned a task through one hand, destruction of the corpus callosum does not greatly affect his subsequent recall of that task through the other hand. It is concluded that task learning through one hand develops separate memory trace systems in both hemispheres.
