Corpus callosum

rdfs:comment

The corpus callosum is the connecting structure between the two hemispheres of the mammalian-type humanoid brain. After being exposed to the effects of the Cytherian probe in 2367, Dr. Crusher noted that the corpus callosum in Reginald Barclay's brain was so active that the two sides of his brain were essentially functioning as one. (TNG: "The Nth Degree" ) The corpus callosum is a broad flat structure in the brain that connects the two cerebral hemispheres. It allows the two halfs to communicate with each other. In cases of severe seizures, the treatment of last resort is to cut the corpus callosum to break this connection. This was the treatment Scott has undergone in Both Sides Now. In rare cases, the lack of a corpus callosum can be a congenital defect. This gives rise to a condition resembling autism. The corpus callosum was a part of most humanoid and mammalian brains which links the right and left hemispheres. The initial findings of the autopsy of Jaldark Keniria seemed to indicate her species did not possess a corpus callosum. It was later realized that Jaldark's corpus callosum had been replaced with cybernetics. (SCE eBook: Hard Crash)

In rare cases, the lack of a corpus callosum can be a congenital defect. This gives rise to a condition resembling autism. Humans and all other mammals with a placenta also have a corpus callosum, but it is absent in marsupials, birds, reptiles, amphibians and fish despite the fact they also have brain hemispheres. The corpus callosum was a part of most humanoid and mammalian brains which links the right and left hemispheres. The initial findings of the autopsy of Jaldark Keniria seemed to indicate her species did not possess a corpus callosum.
