11. Specifically, the posterior fibers of the corpus callosum are associated with episodic memory. 12. This happens as a result of partial or complete absence of the corpus callosum . 13. This is significant because the corpus callosum is a structure that is developed early. 14. However, there is evidence that the corpus callosum may also have some inhibitory functions. 15. This structure gives existence to the corpus callosum , the septum pellucidum, and the fornix. 16. Mice deficient in netrin fail to form the hippocampal comissure or the corpus callosum . 17. The corpus callosum is linked to intelligence, consciousness and self-awareness. 18. The corpus callosum is the main avenue of communication between the two hemispheres, though. 19. Hypoplasia of the corpus callosum is also a common finding. 20. Post-mortem research on human and monkey brains show that the corpus callosum is functionally organized.
