He studied split-brain patterns in cats and humans [5] that result from separating the two hemispheres of the brain after cutting the corpus callosum [6] , the bridge between the two hemispheres of the brain. He found that after separating the corpus callosum [6] , the two hemispheres of the brain could not communicate and they performed functions as if the other hemisphere did not exist. Sperry also studied optic nerve regeneration and developed the chemoaffinity hypothesis. The chemoaffinity hypothesis stated that axons, the long fiber-like part of neurons, connect to their target cells through special chemical markers. That challenged the previously accepted resonance principle of neuronal connection. In 1981 Sperry was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine along with David Hubel and Torsten Wiesel. studied the function of the nervous system in the US during the twentieth century.
