Corpus Callosum
A large commissural white matter tract that connects the left and right cerebral hemispheres, facilitating interhemispheric communication.
Key Functions:
- Facilitates communication between the left and right cerebral hemispheres.
- Integrates sensory, motor, and cognitive information between the hemispheres.
- Essential for coordinated bimanual movements and complex cognitive tasks.
Interacting Systems & Components:
- Cerebral Hemispheres (connects)
- Cerebral Cortex (connects various lobes)
- White Matter (composed of)
- Frontal Cortex, Parietal Cortex, Temporal Cortex, Occipital Cortex (connects across hemispheres)
