Zusammenfassung:	The effects of transcallosal surgery on interhemispheric transfer of information were investigated in five patients who underwent partial section of the corpus callosum for evacuation of a brain tumor. In comparison with normal controls, postoperative findings indicated subtle motor and/or sensory manifestations of hemispheric disconnection which tended to resolve overtime. However, in no case were the disconnection effects disabling in the performance of daily activities.
