  2. Brain of Albert Einstein - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brain_of_Albert_Einstein

    Another study led by Shanghai-based East China Normal University's Department of Physics, "The Corpus Callosum of Albert Einstein's Brain: Another Clue to His High Intelligence", published in the journal Brain on September 24, 2013, showed a new technique to conduct the study, which is the first to detail Einstein's corpus callosum, the brain's ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandra_Witelson

    Sandra Freedman Witelson is a Canadian neuroscientist best known for her analysis of specimens from Albert Einstein's brain, as well as exploring anatomic and functional differences regarding male and female brains, handedness, and sexual orientation. [1]

  4. Longitudinal callosal fascicle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Longitudinal_callosal_fascicle

    The inability of these axons to cross the midline results in anomalous axonal guidance and front-to-back projections within each hemisphere, rather than connecting between the hemispheres in the normal corpus callosum. These longitudinal callosal fascicles were originally described by Moriz Probst in 1901 by gross anatomical observation. [1]

  5. Commissural fiber - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commissural_fiber

    The corpus callosum is essential to the communication between the two hemispheres. [2] A recent study of individuals with agenesis of the corpus callosum suggests that the corpus callosum plays a vital role in problem solving strategies, verbal processing speed, and executive performance. Specifically, the absence of a fully developed corpus ...

  6. Corpus callosum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corpus_callosum

    The corpus callosum (Latin for "tough body"), also callosal commissure, is a wide, thick nerve tract, consisting of a flat bundle of commissural fibers, beneath the cerebral cortex in the brain. The corpus callosum is only found in placental mammals . [ 1 ]

  7. Retrosplenial cortex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retrosplenial_cortex

    The retrosplenial cortex (RSC) is a cortical area in the brain comprising Brodmann areas 29 and 30. [1] It is secondary association cortex, making connections with numerous other brain regions. The region's name refers to its anatomical location immediately behind the splenium of the corpus callosum in primates, although in rodents it is ...

  8. Disconnection syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disconnection_syndrome

    Callosal syndrome, or split-brain, is an example of a disconnection syndrome from damage to the corpus callosum between the two hemispheres of the brain. Disconnection syndrome can also lead to aphasia , left-sided apraxia , and tactile aphasia, among other symptoms.

  9. Dual consciousness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dual_consciousness

    The procedure of surgically removing the corpus callosum is called a corpus callosotomy. Patients who have undergone a corpus callosotomy are colloquially referred to as "split-brain patients". They are called so because now their brain's left and right hemispheres are no longer connected by the corpus callosum. [citation needed]
