Long distance communication in the human brain: timing constraints for inter-hemispheric synchrony and the origin of brain lateralization

Analysis of corpus callosum fiber composition reveals that inter-hemispheric transmission time may put constraints on the development of inter-hemispheric synchronic ensembles, especially in species with large brains like humans. In order to overcome this limitation, a subset of large-diameter callo...
