He believed the death of the body stopped it from being fit to bring about movement. This did not necessarily happen because the soul left the body.

He felt we all know what the human body is like because animals have similar bodies and we have all seen them opened up. He saw the body as a machine.
Longitudinal fissure cortex, thus requiring any tracts to pass through the corpus callosum. The vasculature of falx cerebri supplies blood to the innermost surfaces of the cortex, neighboring the midsagittal plane. The two hemispheres of the human cortex are not perfectly symmetrical, both in structure and in function. For example, the planum temporale, roughly corresponding to the Wernicke’s area, was found to be 10 times larger in the left than the right hemisphere. In contrast, the caudate nucleus, within the basal ganglia, was found to be larger in the right hemisphere. The longitudinal fissure plays a key role in corpus callosotomy, a
