Cerebral dominance, sex, and callosal size inMRI

We measured the MRI area of corpus callosum in 104 normal adults, 51 men, 53 women, 52 right- and 52 left-handers. There were no significant sex or handedness differences. Callosal areas did not correlate with brain size nor with measures of lateralization for hand performance, dichotic listening, or visual field preference. The results are contrary to the notion of increased callosal connectivity in left-handers, women, or individuals with less-lateralized function.
