The thick bundles of fibers that carry information back and forth between the two hemispheres are called commisures. The most well-known commisure is the corpus callosum, which connects the left and right hemispheres of the brain. The other options are not correct: the hippocampus is a structure located in the medial temporal lobe involved in memory formation and spatial navigation, the lateral fissures are the grooves that separate the frontal and temporal lobes of the brain, and nerves are bundles of fibers that transmit information throughout the body.
