Corpus Callosum

The Corpus Callosum is a wide bundle of commissural nerve fibers connecting the two hemispheres of the cerebrum. The corpus callosum contains approximately 300 million nerve fibers.

The corpus callosum provides communication and integration of information between the left and right hemispheres of the brain. It allows the hemispheres to exchange sensory, motor and cognitive information, which is important for the coordination of complex cognitive functions and motor activities.

Damage to the corpus callosum can lead to disruption of interhemispheric interaction and the appearance of various neurological symptoms. However, due to the plasticity of the brain, when the corpus callosum is damaged, the brain can often compensate for lost connections by strengthening alternative neural pathways.

The corpus callosum is part of the cerebrum (see Brain cerebrum). The study of the structure and functions of this important commissural bundle continues to this day, revealing new aspects of the integrative activity of the brain.



The Corpus Callosum is a wide bundle of commissural nerve fibers that connects the right and left hemispheres of the cerebrum. It is an important element in the functioning of the brain and plays an important role in the transfer of information between the two hemispheres.

The Corpus Callosum consists of approximately 300 million nerve fibers and is one of the largest commissural pathways in the brain. It connects many areas of the brain, including the cerebral cortex, thalamus, hypothalamus, limbic system and other structures.

When the corpus callosum is damaged, various symptoms may occur, such as impaired perception of information, difficulties in processing and coordinating movements, as well as deterioration in memory and thinking. In some cases, the absence of the corpus callosum can lead to the development of epilepsy or other neurological disorders.

Studying the corpus callosum and its role in brain function is an important task for neurologists and neuroscientists. They study the structure and function of the Callosum's body to better understand how the brain works and how it interacts with other body systems.

Overall, the corpus callosum plays an important role in many aspects of brain function and damage to it can lead to serious health consequences. Therefore, it is important to understand its role and functions in order to prevent possible problems and improve the quality of life.



Corpus callosum (lat. Corpus callo), corpus calleosum communis (formerly lat. corpus collaterale, pontineurum) is a communication bridge between the two hemispheres of the brain, connecting the nerve fibers of their white matter. Anatomically, it is the largest callosum of the cerebral hemispheres. The volume of the body of the corpus callosum during life is 50–100 ml [1]. Normally, on each side there is a more or less oval corpus callosum, in the process of intrauterine development and early ontogenesis, divided by a longitudinal fissure and shaped like eights
