<P> The corpus callosum ( Latin for `` tough body '' ) , also callosal commissure , is a wide , thick , nerve tract consisting of a flat bundle of commissural fibers , beneath the cerebral cortex in the brain . The corpus callosum is only found in placental mammals . It spans part of the longitudinal fissure , connects the left and right cerebral hemispheres , enabling communication between them . It is the largest white matter structure in the human brain , about ten centimetres in length and consisting of 200 -- 300 million axonal projections . </P>
