Özet
The area of the midsagittal section of the corpus callosum, particularly in the region of the splenium was found to be greater in women than in men. The magnetic resonance imaging of seventy adults was examined and showed the same association previously observed, between sex differences and area of the corpus callosum and its splenium. The quantitative results supported a relationship between variations in callosal anatomy and sex differences in human beings. Findings are discussed in the light of the related literature.
