摘要

Purpose of Review

To review the functional morphology of the corpus callosum. The corpus callosum is the largest connection between the cerebral hemispheres. The left hemisphere is responsible for abstract logical thinking in right-handers, while the right hemisphere is responsible for figurative and artistic information processing (this view is too schematic and not quite true, although it has exerted a considerable influence on the media and common sense knowledge). This article presents the evolution of views on the functional role of the corpus callosum and its formation at various stages of ontogenesis. It also discusses anomalies and disorders of interhemispheric interactions that are usually mediated by this commissure.

Recent Findings

The age and anatomical features of the corpus callosum require special attention. The article emphasizes the necessity of multidirectional studies of the corpus callosum.

Summary

Information on the clinical and anatomical characteristics of the corpus callosum will be valuable not only for morphologists but also for neurologists, neurosurgeons, psychiatrists, speech pathologists, etc. This will provide a broader perspective on many topical issues in neurology and psychiatry.
