Гендерные и возрастные особенности строения мозолистого тела человека

Abstract

Abstract Background: Corpus callosum is the largest commissure of the brain, providing coordination of the hemispheres. Change in shape of the corpus callosum correlates with various nervous and mental diseases. The typology of the corpus callosum in norm is not fully investigated. Material and methods: 123 magnetic resonance tomograms of brain without organic pathology of both sex adults aged 21–55 were studied. Results: Linear parameters of the corpus callosum size in men and women have been determined. Statistical analysis of the linear dimensions of the corpus callosum in men and women, due to the limited sample size, showed no significant differences between the values. Conclusions: Four typical forms of morphological variability of the corpus callosum have been revealed with the frequency of their occurrence in both men and women.
