People born without the large bundle of nerve fibers that bridges the brain’s hemispheres have trouble identifying fearful faces, and don’t look preferentially at others’ eyes to perform this task, according to research presented Sunday at the Society for Neuroscience meeting in Chicago.

The corpus callosum is a large, C-shaped nerve fiber bundle found beneath the cerebral cortex. It stretches across the midline of the brain, connecting the left and right cerebral hemispheres. It makes up the largest collection of white matter tissue found in the brain.

The two hemispheres in your brain are connected by a thick bundle of nerve fibres called the corpus callosum that ensures both sides of the brain can communicate and send signals to each other.

People born without a corpus callosum face many challenges. Some have other brain malformations as well—and as a result individuals can exhibit a range of behavioral and cognitive outcomes, from severe cognitive deficits to mild learning delays.

The corpus callosum is the largest transverse commissure connecting the cerebral hemispheres. It contributes to the wall of each of the five parts of the lateral ventricle (Fig. 2-2B,right). The corpus callosum is divided into four parts: rostrum, genu, body, and splenium. The rostrum is the floor of the frontal horn.

The corpus callosum (Latin for " tough body"), is a wide, thick nerve tract, consisting of a flat bundle of commissural fibers, beneath the cerebral cortex in the brain. The corpus callosum is only found in placental mammals.[1] It spans part of the longitudinal fissure, connecting the left and right cerebral hemispheres, enabling communication between them.

The Corpus Callosum is a pathway of nerve fibers between the two brain hemispheres, and allows them to communicate with one another. Without it, the two hemispheres can't work together to allow complete brain function.

If the corpus callosum is injured, the signal transmission from one hemisphere to the other is impaired and can lead to serious coordination problems, or ataxia. The person lacks control or coordination of voluntary movements such as: Walking. Picking up objects.

The corpus callosum is part of the brain in humans and other eutherian mammals. It is the largest connective pathway in the brain. Its over 200 million nerve fibers connect the left and right hemispheres of the brain.

The corpus callosum relates to the lateralization of brain function. Because the two side of the brain communicate so intensively, they can afford to specialise in doing somewhat different things.

Only in higher mammals

The corpus callosum is found only in placental mammals (the eutherians). It is absent in monotremes and marsupials, and other vertebrates such as birds, reptiles, amphibians and fish.

Other groups do have brain structures that allow for communication between the two hemispheres. The anterior commissure serves as the main cross-hemisphere communication in marsupials.

The fibrous bundle of the corpus callosum increases to such an extent in humans that it wedges apart the hippocampal structures.
