body of the corpus callosum (bcc)

The term body of the corpus callosum refers to the portion of the corpus callosum located between the genu of the corpus callosum and the splenium of the corpus callosum. It is found in the human ( Carpenter-1983 ), the macaque ( Martin-2000 ), the rat ( Swanson-2004 ) and the mouse ( Franklin-2008 ). In a common parcellation, corpus callosum (Witelson), it is divided into four parts: the rostral body of the corpus callosum, the anterior midbody of the corpus callosum, the posterior midbody of the corpus callosum and the isthmus of the corpus callosum.

Also known as: body of the corpus callosum, body of corpus callosum, Truncus corpus callosi, Corpus callosum truncus, Corpus callosum, corpus, corpus callosum, body, trunk of corpus callosum, trunculus corporis callosi

Models Where It Appears
Structural CNS Model - Macaque

Brain structures of the macaque are illustrated in BrainInfo’s NeuroMaps macaque brain atlas. Structures are grouped by proximity in a hierarchy corresponding to the central nervous system hierarchy of NeuroNames ( Bowden-1995 Martin-2000 ). Structures in the NeuroMaps atlas are based on the segmentation of an MRI of the brain of a 3-year old male rhesus macaque (Macaca mulatta). The atlas is most useful for targeting structures for implantating electrodes and chemtrodes. Updated 29 Oct 2025.
