Preferred Label : corpus callosum;
Uberon definition : White matter structure containing massive numbers of commissural fibers connecting
cortical areas in the two cerebral hemispheres.it is subdivided into a genu, a rostrum,
a body, and a splenium. (MM);
Uberon Homology note : In addition to the anterior commissure, placental mammals have a phylogenetically
new forebrain commissure, the corpus callosum, which primarily interconnects the neocortex
of the cerebral hemispheres.[well established][VHOG];
Uberon Taxon note : The corpus callosum is found only in placental mammals. other groups do have other
brain structures that allow for communication between the two hemispheres, such as
the anterior commissure, which serves as the primary mode of interhemispheric communication
in marsupials.;
