The functions of the corpus callosum have been discussed and disputed greatly in recent years. Clinical findings have attributed little functional significance to the corpus callosum, while experimental findings show that certain functions are dependent on its integrity.

The results of studies on interhemispheric transfer of data derived from split brain preparations and the relation to communication (aphasia) are two of the several areas discussed in
