dc.descriptionThe corpus callosum is the main transverse tract of fibers that connects the two cerebral hemispheres. Callosal efferent that originate in the cerebral cortex connect to the contralateral hemisphere, integrating motor, sensory, and cognitive performances of the brain. Initial formation of the axons that constitute the corpus callosum starts anteriorly at the genu and continues through posteriorly to what eventually becomes the body, a narrowed isthmus, and a widened splenium.en_US
