Regarding the Brain
Question
How does the Rabbi relate to cases in which damage to the brain (for example, severing the connection between the two hemispheres) causes a change in a person’s personality—for example, a person whose connection between the two hemispheres of the brain was severed began to have two different personalities, etc.? In terms of the soul.
Thank you
Answer
I deal with this in neuroscience. Maybe I’ll comment on it in the next column.
