Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The corpus callosum is a thick bundle of nerve fibers that connects the two hemispheres of the brain and facilitates communication and coordination between them. The other options, medulla, pons, and cerebellum, are all structures located in the brainstem that are involved in various functions such as breathing, heart rate, and motor coordination, but they do not play a role in interhemispheric communication.
