Cortical and subcortical interhemispheric interactions following partial and complete callosotomy

The corpus callosum is the largest fiber tract in the human brain, and play s a critical role in many aspects of interhemispheric integration. Much has been learned about the structure and connectivity of this fiber tract thro ugh anatomical studies on a variety of species. The functional implications of these anatomical findings are supported by behavioral studies on monkey s and humans with lesions of the corpus callosum.
