Like any complex system, the brain is composed of many parts, follow strictly its specific function.Each of its components deserves special attention.And in this article will be considered by the corpus callosum.This organelle brain is a thin plate, connected to each other both hemispheres.Accordingly, it is between them.The shape of the corpus callosum is an arc, which is elongated in the middle, in the back is slightly thickened and bent down in front.If you look at it sagittally, it will be in the form of an oval.In this section, you can clearly see three parts: the roller body and the knee, which ends in a beak.
Since the corpus callosum of the brain located between the hemispheres, the functions it clear: to ensure the exchange of information between them, then there is a certain means of communication.Its nerve fibers are combined with each other with the same name lobes: parietal left and right hemispheres, frontal, and others.In addition, the corpus callosum connects the brain and dissimilar.For example, with the frontal parietal, parietal occipital and so on.This part of the brain allows smooth and consistent operation of both hemispheres, both in terms of motor activity, and in the field of mental.
agenesis - One of the most common congenital disease that affects the corpus callosum.The functions of the brain and other organs, in this case violated (develop mental illnesses, diseases of the genitourinary, heart, nervous system and so forth.).Agenesis of the corpus callosum is possible to diagnose the stage of fetal development via ultrasound.If, however, the diagnosis turned out to be confirmed, then, depending on the severity, it may be necessary to terminate a pregnancy.In some cases, the possibility of spontaneous intrauterine fetal death (miscarriage).Among the children born with this diagnosis, half of them have different pathology and deviation in the development of psychomotor, intellectual, or physiology.Unfortunately, the disease remains intractable.
hypoplasia - another vice, which are subject to the corpus callosum.As in the case of agenesis, the disease occurs in step fetal and diagnosed by ultrasound.Symptoms are also very similar: a delay in psychomotor development, physiological functions and intelligence.However, unlike agenesis, in the case of the confirmed hypoplasia almost never have to artificially terminate a pregnancy.And after the birth of a child can be cured through a complex exercise, which restores the connection between the hemispheres of the brain.In addition, it can be used information-wave therapy.The principle of it is that the brain is illuminated with special electromagnetic waves, which are the same as physical exercise restores hemispheric communication and helps to reduce the impact of hypoplasia of the corpus callosum in the development of the child.In this disease, there is a trend: the younger the child, so it is easier to rehabilitate.Therefore, in the case of suspected hypoplasia, you need it as soon as possible to diagnose and begin treatment immediately.
