Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Information is most quickly transmitted from one cerebral hemisphere to the other by the
A
medulla.
B
corpus callosum.
C
angular gyrus.
D
limbic system.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The two hemispheres are connected by a thick band of neural fibers known as the corpus callosum, consisting of about 200 million axons. The corpus callosum allows the two hemispheres to communicate with each other and allows for information being processed on one side of the brain to be shared with the other side.

Detailed explanation-2: -Information is most quickly transmitted from one cerebral hemisphere to the other by the: corpus callosum. The detection and encoding of stimulus energies by the nervous system is called: sensation.

Detailed explanation-3: -The corpus callosum is the largest fiber tract in the human brain. It connects the two hemispheres through more than 200 million fibers and allows for an inter-hemispheric transfer of information (Aboitiz et al., 1992).

Detailed explanation-4: -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.

Detailed explanation-5: -The hemispheres communicate with each other through a thick band of 200-250 million nerve fibers called the corpus callosum. (A smaller band of nerve fibers called the anterior commissure also connects parts of the cerebral hemispheres.)
