The Corpus Callosum(CC) is a band of nerve fibers located in the cerebral cortex. Dividing the cortex, the corpus callosum acts as a way of communication between the light and right hemispheres. The CC is one of the largest structures of white matter in the brain and contains over 200 million axons. These axons send out electrical impulses from the neurons cell body. The neurons in the CC is also insulated by myelin sheath, which facilitates the transmission of information at a quicker pace. The
