A long, thick band of nerve fibers that connects the left and right hemispheres of the brain and allows communication between them. Development of the CC makes communication between the hemispheres more efficient. Lateralization Literally, sidedness, referring to the specialization in certain functions by each side of the brain, with one side dominant for each activity. The left side of the brain controls the right side of the body, and vice versa. Preseveration. The tendency to persevere in, or stick to, one thought or action for a long time.
The brain is divided into the right and left hemisphere, and the two halves are connected by the corpus callosum. This bundle of nerve tissue contains over 200 million axons (nerve fibers that carry electrical impulses from neuronsâ cell bodies) by rough estimate. This neural tissue facilitates communication between the two sides of the brain. The corpus callosum is the largest collection of white matter within the brain, and it has a high myelin content. Myelin is a fatty, protective coating around nerves that facilitates quicker transmission of information. White matter should not be confused with gray matter.
