<P> The corpus callosum ( / ˈkɔːrpəs kəˈloʊsəm / ; Latin for `` tough body '' ) , also callosal commissure , is a wide commissure , a flat bundle of commissural fibers , about 10 cm long beneath the cerebral cortex in the brains of placental mammals . It spans part of the longitudinal fissure , connects the left and right cerebral hemispheres , and enables communication between the hemispheres . It is the largest white matter structure in the human brain , consisting of 200 -- 250 million axonal projections . </P>
