Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The corpus callosum is a broad band of nerve fibers joining the two hemispheres of the brain. It facilitates communication between the two hemispheres, aiding in their cooperation when focusing attention or performing tasks that require the integration of functions performed by each hemisphere. Myelination of the corpus callosum enhances this communication by increasing the speed at which electrical signals are transmitted across the hemispheres.
