The corpus callosum is the largest white matter fiber bundle in the human brain, the major interhemispheric commissure that connects the majority of the neocortical areas, and is important for ...

The brain is divided into the right and left hemispheres, and the corpus callosum connects the two halves. This bundle of nerve tissue contains more than 200 million axons (nerve fibers that carry ...

For the first time, a research team led by the Mark and Mary Stevens Neuroimaging and Informatics Institute (Stevens INI) at the Keck School of Medicine of USC has mapped the genetic architecture of a ...

Space to play or pause, M to mute, left and right arrows to seek, up and down arrows for volume. Lynne Malcolm: It's the All in the Mind on RN, Lynne Malcolm with you. Today we investigate the ...

The corpus callosum links one side of our brain to the other. It’s not essential for survival, but in some people it’s missing or malformed, causing quite mild to extreme disabilities. The good news ...

Humans who lack the corpus callosum, a bundle of 200 million fibers that connect the left and right hemispheres of the brain, have long fascinated physicians, neuroscientists and other curious minds.

In mammals, oligodendrocytes mature and axons myelinate during the early postnatal weeks 1,2, processes promoted by largely unknown signaling pathways. Identifying the phenotypic characteristics of ...

It’s a study in mice, but results from an intriguing experiment suggests that having one or two parents can affect new nerve growth in the brain, and that male and females respond differently to these ...
