The corpus callosum, is a wide, thick nerve tract, comprising of a flat bundle of commissural filaments, underneath the cerebral cortex in the brain. The corpus callosum is just found in placental mammals. It spans a piece of the longitudinal fissure, interfacing the left and right cerebral hemispheres, empowering correspondence between them. It is the biggest white matter structure in the human cerebrum, around ten centimeters long and comprising of 200–300 million axonal projections. Various separate nerve tracts, classed as subregions of the corpus callosum, interface various pieces of the hemispheres. The primary ones are known as the genu, the rostrum, the trunk or body, and the splenium.

Structure:

The corpus callosum forms the floor of the longitudinal fissure that separates the two cerebral sides of the equator. Some portion of the corpus callosum forms the top of the sidelong ventricles. The corpus callosum has four main parts; individual nerve tracts that connect different parts of the hemispheres. These are the rostrum, the genu, the trunk or body, and the splenium. A limited part between the trunk and the splenium is known as the isthmus. Filaments from the trunk and the splenium referred to together as the tapetum structure the top of every horizontal ventricle.

The front portion of the corpus callosum, towards the frontal lobes is known as the genu. The genu bends downward and backward in front of the septum pellucidum, decreasing incredibly in thickness. The lower a lot more slender part is the rostrum and is associated beneath with the lamina terminalis, which extends from the interventricular foramina to the break at the foundation of the optic stalk. The rostrum is named for its likeness to a bird's beak.

The end part of the corpus callosum, towards the cerebellum, is known as the splenium. This is the thickest part, and covers the tela choroidea of the third ventricle and the midbrain, and finishes in a thick, raised, free line. The trunk of the corpus callosum lies between the splenium and the genu. The callosal sulcus isolates the corpus callosum from the cingulate gyrus.

Significance:

The arrangement of the corpus callosum starts with the first midline crossing of pioneer axons around week 12 in the pre-birth improvement of the human, or day 15 in the embryogenesis of the mouse. Agenesis of the corpus callosum (ACC) is an uncommon inborn problem that is perhaps the most well-known mind malformation saw in people, in which the corpus callosum is to some extent or totally missing. ACC is generally analyzed inside the initial two years of life, and may show as a serious disorder in early stages or adolescence, as a milder condition in youthful grown-ups, or as an asymptomatic accidental finding. Starting manifestations of ACC as a rule incorporate seizures, which might be trailed by taking care of issues and postponements in holding the head erect, sitting, standing, and walking. Other potential side effects might remember hindrances for mental and actual turn of events, deftness, and visual and hear-able memory. Hydrocephaly may also occur. In gentle cases, side effects like seizures, redundant discourse, or cerebral pains may not show up for quite a long time. A few disorders that are frequently connected with ACC are Aicardi condition, Andermann condition, Shapiro condition, and acrocallosal disorder.
