What is Agenesis of the Corpus Callosum?
A condition in which the thick band of fibers which connects the two hemispheres of the brain (the corpus callosum) either fails to form or forms incompletely. This may result in diffuculty in the sharing of information between the two sides of the brain which can affect language abilities and eye-hand coordination. Because the two sides of the brain are capable of functioning independently of each other, some people with ACC will not have serious impairments to their intellectual abilities.
