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)
