In recent years the corpus callosum has provided a model for the study of cortical connections in the adult and developing brain. In particular, aspects of development originally described in the corpus callosum could be generalized to other cortical connections. New frontiers include the analysis of the human corpus callosum, studies of callosal connections at the cellular level and the analysis of dynamic interactions between the hemispheres. Gross morphological parameters of the human corpus callosum have been measured and related to gender, handedness etc. The detailed dendritic and axonal morphology of individual callosal neurons and their development is being defined. Electrophysiological investigations and computer stimulations are stressing temporal aspects of the interactions between the hemispheres.
近年来，胼胝体为研究成年大脑和发育中大脑的皮质连接提供了一个模型。特别是，最初在胼胝体中描述的发育方面可以推广到其他皮质连接。新的前沿领域包括对人类胼胝体的分析、细胞水平上胼胝体连接的研究以及半球之间动态相互作用的分析。已经测量了人类胼胝体的大体形态参数，并将其与性别、利手等相关联。正在确定单个胼胝体神经元的详细树突和轴突形态及其发育情况。电生理研究和计算机模拟强调了半球之间相互作用的时间方面。
