Corpus Callosum - Physiology
Research News and Information
Definition of 'Corpus Callosum'Broad plate of dense myelinated fibers that reciprocally interconnect regions of the cortex in all lobes with corresponding regions of the opposite hemisphere. The corpus callosum is located deep in the longitudinal fissure. Common names: Corpus Callosum; Callosum, Corpus; Callosums, Corpus; Corpus Callosums |

Novel subtype-specific genes identify distinct subpopulations of callosal projection neurons.
28 Sep 2009 
Little is known about the molecular development and heterogeneity of callosal projection neurons (CPN), cortical commissural neurons that connect homotopic regions of the two cerebral hemispheres via the corpus callosum and that are critical for ... Read more...
Low-frequency conductivity tensor of rat brain tissues inferred from diffusion MRI.
30 Aug 2009 Conductivity tensor maps of the rat brain were obtained using diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Signal attenuations in the cortex and the corpus callosum were measured using the stimulated echo acquisition mode (STEAM) sequence with b ... Read more...
10 Aug 2009 Whisker and forelimb movements in rats have distinct behavioral functions that suggest differences in the neural connections of the brain regions that control their movements. To test this hypothesis, retrograde tracing methods were used to ... Read more...
