Alien hand syndrome wasn't
clearly defined by doctors until 1972.



Victims of alien hand syndrome
can go to extreme measures to
ensure their hand stays put.

Interesting subject, I take it you watched Dr Strangelove recently…
To me it seems very similar to
split brain patients on some levels. These are people who have damage to their corpus callosum, and there is a lack of communication between the hemispheres of the brain. I guess it gives a whole new meaning to “the left hand not knowing what the right hand is doing” at any rate.

most commonly after a radical procedure that treats extreme cases of epilepsy. When the callosum is damaged, it leaves the different sections of the brain disconnected and unable to speak to each other

what happens then it cant connect and interact what interacts with the parts to make it do the right thing this leaves the person or the area not controlled by the proper task? could this be were the evil takes place? or it could be a thought or something.

Peter Sellers was playing a man with Alien Hand Syndrome, not Split Brain, though both disorders are related to damage to the corpus callosum, which to put it in computer terms, acts like a network cable linking the hemispheres of the brain together. From your link above:

Think of the corpus callosum as the brain's e-mail server, a bundle of message sending nerves that connect and share information with the two hemispheres. Alien hand syndrome is a result of damage to these nerves. This damage most often occurs in brain aneurysms, stroke patients and those with infections of the brain, but can also manifest as a side effect of brain surgery, most commonly after a radical procedure that treats extreme cases of epilepsy. When the callosum is damaged, it leaves the different sections of the brain disconnected and unable to speak to each other -- its e-mail is permanently down. With AHS, one hand functions normally, carrying out purposeful tasks without signaling the other hand, resulting in a limb that can act on its own, sometimes in opposition to the functioning side.
