This continuity is especially apparent in relation to the hypothalamic (visceral) and thalamic (somatic) divisions of the diencephalon (interbrain) at the top of the brain stem.

And then, because the eventual goal is to understand the body’s motive influences in psychological, as well as neural, terms, we need to consider motive influences as they manifest not only objectively (in behavior) but also subjectively (in experience).
A kind of right hemisphere liberation movement then swept through the popular culture, leading the two sides of the brain to become the metaphor for favorite dichotomies of human nature.

The presence of a more or less complete mind in each half of the brain was striking. In terms of specific results, these experiments largely confirmed what studies of brain injury had already shown about the verbal skills of the left hemisphere and the nonverbal skills of the right.
