(Medical Xpress) -- Like a bridge that spans a river to connect two major metropolises, the corpus callosum is the main conduit for information flowing between the left and right hemispheres of our brains. Now, neuroscientists at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) have found that people who are born without that linka condition called agenesis of the corpus callosum, or AgCCstill show remarkably normal communication across the gap between the two halves of their brains.
