Abstract
Agenesis of the corpus callosum (AgCC) is a congenital malformation that can occur in isolation or in association with other neurological conditions. Although the behavioral manifestations associated with AgCC have been widely studied, the effects of complete absence of the corpus callosum (CC) on cerebral cortex anatomy are still not completely understood. In this study, cortical thickness in adults with complete AgCC was compared to a group of healthy controls. Results showed highly variable patterns of cortical thickness in AgCC individuals, with few areas showing significant and consistent alterations including primary visual cortex, primary somatosensory cortex and primary motor cortex. These results suggest relatively limited effects of AgCC on cortical morphology, which are mostly restricted to primary sensory and motor areas.
