Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The corpus callosum is a large band of neural fibers that connects the two cerebral hemispheres and allows for communication between them. A is incorrect because the 10^th cranial nerve is not a real structure. B is incorrect because the thalamus is responsible for relaying sensory information to the cortex, but is not specifically involved in interhemispheric communication. C is incorrect because the central sulcus is a fissure that separates the primary motor and sensory cortices, but is not involved in communication between the hemispheres.
