Morphometric analysis and Sexual Dimorphism of Corpus Callosum: A Mri Study

Rajan Bhatnagar

Corpus Callosum (CC) is the major anatomical and functional commissure linking the two cerebral hemispheres. It connects cortical as well as subcortical region of the right and left sides of the brain and plays an essential role in the integration of information between the two hemispheres. Variations in size and morphology of Corpus Callosum are elucidated in a wide range of neuropsychiatric disorders [1-5]. Study of difference in shape and size of Corpus Callosum and its subjective association with intelligence and apprehensive ability has engrossed our scientists. Literature hints towards a possible relation between different morphometry of Corpus Callosum with the difference in cognitivity and behavioural pattern seen in males and females. Hence sexual dimorphism of Corpus Callosum is a matter of increasing research.
