Myelination, Bicameralism and Siri Hustvedt's Hallucinations
The lack of myelination in the corpus callosum of young children is proposed as a reason why they experience "mythical friends" and open "doors of perception." This bicameral state can sometimes persist into adulthood for individuals suffering from classic migraines, such as writer Siri Hustvedt. Hustvedt has documented complex, three-dimensional hallucinations, including miniature figures and scenes that appear with startling clarity in her physical environment.
