Morphometry of the Corpus Callosum
Özet
The corpus callosum (CC) is the major pathway connecting the two cerebral hemispheres of the brain. It consists of four parts, the rostrum, genu, body, and splenium. The CC plays a central role in sensory, motor, and cognitive information in cerebral information transferring and integration between the two cerebral hemispheres. The CC has been studied in regard to morphological features with dimensions, age, and sex differences both in health and neuropsychiatric disorders. Quantitative analysis of the CC morphometry is best studied with T1 sequence on midsagittal MRI. It is known that there are sex and age differences in the size of the CC. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2023. All rights reserved.
