	BBC News \| HEALTH \| The man with two brains
		A man whose brain was separated down the middle to treat epilepsy is helping scientists understand how the organ works.
		The advantage of separating the two halves is that scientists can then ask each side to carry out different tasks - with no assistance from the other side.
		The left hemisphere is always considered to be the part of the brain which develops some particularly human skills, such as language.

		The corpus callosum acts as a bridge between the two hemispheres of your brain.
		For more than a decade, Dartmouth neuroscientist Michael Gazzaniga has followed the cognitive experiences of a man with severe epilepsy whose connection between his brain's two hemispheres was severed to stop his seizures.
		The human brain has evolved over several million years to become the incredibly complex organ that it is in humans today.

	AudioRevolution.com DVD Review of The Man With Two Brains
		Michael is transformed by love into a paragon of tender thoughtfulness, and the object of his affections is worthy in most respects, but the contortions he must go through to conduct the affair are ridiculous, made even funnier by a perverse logic.
		Technically, ‘The Man With Two Brains’ has few frills and the DVD has none at all (unless you count basics like chapter search and closed-captioning for the deaf).
		Some sequences in ‘The Man With Two Brains’ go on too long and others fall flat altogether, but the film has enough sturdy jokes and genuine deadpan weirdness -- as well as enthusiastic and capable performances -- to be an agreeable diversion.

	The Man With Two Brains (1983)
		Really, it was right around the time of 1983's The Man With Two Brains that the dominant opinion started to change, mainly because I think Martin had ceased to perform stand-up by that point; the more movies he made, the quicker memories of his "wild and crazy guy" routine and other bits faded.
		When it succeeds, TMWTB does so largely due to the presence of Martin, who was still getting his feet wet in films; he'd made more than a few by that point but his persona still seemed bound to the stand-up comic of the Seventies, despite an attempt in 1981's Pennies From Heaven to alter that.
		The Man With Two Brains appears an aspect ratio of approximately 1.33:1 on this single-sided, single-layered DVD; due to those dimensions, the image has not been enhanced for 16X9 televisions.

		As a confirmed Steve Martin fan may I commend to you a veritable feast of hilarity and mirth that is his 1983 offering The Man With Two Brains.
		Now anyone with only half a brain would know its not his best film (My vote would go for the brilliant Parenthood) but it is worthy of inclusion into his better works collection.
		Martin plays a man named Dr Hfuhruhurr who is still carrying on his married life to the brain of his dead wife.

		Unfortunately her brain is deteriorating fast, Necessiter can only transfer people into apes and Dolores is still on the hunt for Hfuhruhurr's money.
		An equally surprising aspect of The Man with Two Brains is that it doesn't flag or stumble, producing a high quotient of laughs throughout.
		The only weak points of The Man with Two Brains are that the comedy is amusing rather than gut-wrenchingly funny (quite low-key, in fact) and that the characters are rather shallow.

		Steve Martin and Carl Reiner continue their tour of ancient movie genres with "The Man With Two Brains," which does for Mad Scientist movies what "Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid" did for private eye pictures.
		Hfuhruhurr has perfected something called the cranial screw-top method of brain surgery, and uses it to save the life of a beautiful young woman (Kathleen Turner) whom he's hit with his Mercedes.
		She seduces the gardener but refuses to have sex with Hfuhruhurr, who in his frustration falls in love with the brain of another young woman -- a brain that has been pickled in a jar in the Vienna laboratory of the eccentric Dr. Necessiter (David Warner).

	Michael Gazzaniga Q&A
		Through his study of patients with hemispheric disconnection, also called "split brains," Michael Gazzaniga has discovered that the two sides of the brain interpret and organize information differently.
		Using new brain imaging methods we want to see where that is occurring in the right hemisphere.
		The demonstration in a split-brain person that one side of the brain preferentially responded to faces, the other to vegetables, was used to support the idea that the right side of the brain is primarily adapted for processing faces.

		Clean-shaven, he's Tommy, a brilliant medical research scientist desperately trying to find a cure for brain tumors before the love of his life, Izzy (Weisz again) gives up the ghost.

		For some reason I was strongly reminded of Steve Martin's patented cranial screw-top method in "The Man With Two Brains."

		Perhaps the name is not unfamiliar, though it is unpronounceable; the good doctor is the inventor of the celebrated "screw-top" method of brain surgery, in which the top of the skull twists off as easily as the lid of a pickle jar.
		The man may be a medical genius, but his talent for love leaves something to be desired, which explains his marriage to a gold-digging vixen (Kathleen Turner).
		Ah, but Dr. Hfuhruhurr may yet find true love, in the form of the disembodied brain he discovers in the lab of a mad scientist--David Warner, gone the Frankenstein route.
