Bimanual motor coordination in agenesis of the corpus callosum.

29 Sep 2009 The nature and extent of deficiencies in bimanual motor coordination in individuals with agenesis of the corpus callosum (ACC) was studied using the computerized Bimanual Coordination Test (cBCT). Compared with previous bimanual tasks, the cBCT is ... Read more...

Transcallosal connectivity and cortical rhythms: findings in children with spina bifida.

24 Aug 2009 We studied the relation between cortical oscillatory rhythms and the structural integrity of the corpus callosum in 21 children with spina bifida and hydrocephalus. Participants underwent resting state neuromagnetic recordings and diffusion tensor ... Read more...

Opposite role of infralimbic and prelimbic cortex in the tachycardiac response evoked by acute restraint stress in rats.

13 Aug 2009 The ventral medial prefrontal cortex (vMPFC) comprises the prelimbic cortex (PL) and the infralimbic cortex (IL). Conflicting results have been reported from studies aiming to investigate the role played by the vMPFC in behavioral and autonomic ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Corpus Callosum'

Definition: 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.
