Abstract
Sex dimorphism occurs when group means differ by four or more standard deviations. However, the average size of the corpus callosum is great er in males by about one standard deviation in mts, 0.2 standard devia tion in humans, and virtually zero in mice. Furthermore, variations in corpus callosum size are related to brain size and are not sex specif ic.
