GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The corpus callosum is a large bundle of more than 200 million myelinated nerve fibers that connect the two brain hemispheres, permitting communication between the right and left sides of the brain. Abnormalities within the corpus callosum have been identified in maltreated children.

Detailed explanation-2: -The corpus callosum is a structure in the brain along the longitudinal fissure that facilitates much of the communication between the two hemispheres. This structure is composed of white matter: millions of axons that have their dendrites and terminal boutons projecting in both the right and left hemisphere.

Detailed explanation-3: -The corpus callosum is a large white matter tract that connects the two hemispheres of the brain. It lies deep to the cingulate gyrus. It lies superficial to the fornix, to which it is connected anteriorly by the septum pellucidum.
