The brain is divided into the right and left hemispheres, and the corpus callosum connects the two halves. This bundle of nerve tissue contains more than 200 million axons (nerve fibers that carry ...

A study by the HSE Centre for Language and Brain has confirmed the role of the corpus callosum in language lateralization, the distribution of language processing functions between the brain's ...

In findings that raise a variety of questions about how our brains work, and even about the nature of consciousness, UC Santa Barbara researchers and collaborators report that only a small section of ...

My previous post, "Sexing the Brain (Early Days)" considered the early approach to consider sex differences in terms of perceptual asymmetries. That post ended on McGlone’s (1980) conclusion that men ...

The findings led by the Mark and Mary Stevens Neuroimaging and Informatics Institute (Stevens INI) at the Keck School of Medicine of USC open new pathways for discoveries about mental illness, ...

The corpus callosum connects the left side of the brain to the right side, known as hemispheres. This connection allows information to pass between the two halves. Corpus callosum is Latin for “tough ...

(Medical Xpress)—Building on their prior work, a team of neuroscientists at Caltech now report that rare patients who are missing connections between the left and right sides of their brain—a ...

One in 4,000 people is born without a corpus callosum, a brain structure consisting of neural fibers that are used to transfer information between hemisphere. 25% of them do not have any symptoms.

Agenesis of the corpus callosum is a rare brain malformation that happens as your baby develops in the womb. It causes varying symptoms and challenges from mild to severe. Many children with this ...

Albert Einstein had a colossal corpus callosum. And when it comes to this particular piece of neural real estate, it’s pretty clear that size matters. Chances are, that brawny bundle of white matter ...
