Callosal agenesis

Callosal agenesis is a rare condition where the corpus callosum, the part of the brain that connects the two hemispheres and enables communication between them, does not develop properly or is missing. This can affect how the brain functions, leading to differences in coordination, learning, or behavior. Some individuals may have minimal or no symptoms, while others might experience challenges with tasks requiring communication between the brain's sides. The condition can occur alone or alongside other developmental issues, and its impact varies depending on the extent of the brain's development and any associated conditions.
