TL;DR: Across subjects, the overall density of callosal fibers had no significant correlation withcallosal area and an increased callosal area indicated an increased total number of fibers crossing through, and this was only true for small diameter fibers, whose large majority is believed to interconnect association cortex.

TL;DR: The neuroanatomical findings in 4 consecutively studied brains of men with developmental dyslexia are discussed with reference to developmental cortical anomalies, cerebral asymmetries, reorganization of the brain after early lesions, and the association between learning disorders, left handedness, and diseases of the immune system.

TL;DR: It is postulate that the evolutionary origin of the corpus callosum in placental mammals is related to the mechanism of midline fusion in the sensory cortices, which only in mammals receive a topographically organized representation of the sensory surfaces.

TL;DR: It is proposed that the neural device involved in language is embedded into a large-scale neurocognitive network comprising widespread connections between the temporal, parietal and frontal cortices, involved in the temporal organization of behavior and motor sequences, and in working memory, a sort of short-term memory that participates in immediate cognitive processing.

TL;DR: Findings suggest a sex-dependent, pathway-specific decrease in interhemispheric connectivity with increasing lateralization in language-gifted cortex.
