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. The corpus callosum carries electrical ...
Structural and functional brain rewiring clarifies preserved interhemispheric transfer in humans born without the corpus callosum. PNAS , May 12, 2014 DOI: 10.1073/pnas.1400806111 Cite This Page : ...
One in 4,000 people is born without a corpus callosum, a brain structure consisting of neural fibers that are used to transfer information from one hemisphere to the other.
After a focal demyelination of the corpus callosum in adult mice, the demyelinated axons form functional excitatory synapses onto adult-born oligodendrocyte progenitor cells. This input is lost ...
The condition occurs when the nerve fibres that make up the corpus callosum do not form - meaning signals cannot be passed back and forth between the hemispheres of the brain.
It can be said that in processing language, the brain tends to use the left hemisphere's resources efficiently and to suppress, by means of the corpus callosum, any additional involvement of the ...
According to Falk, the corpus callosum is both physically and cognitively important. The inter-brain connection allows our hands to coordinate and our bodies to move with intention.
