Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The corpus callosum is a bundle of nerves that connects the two halves of the cerebral cortex, allowing for communication and coordination between the two hemispheres. If severed, it can result in split-brain syndrome, but not necessarily a vegetative state. The corpus callosum does not connect the brainstem and reticular formation.
