-
A white, medullary band, perceived on separating the two hemispheres of the brain, which it connects with each other. La Peyronie regarded it as the seat of the soul. On it are seen longitudinal and transverse ficres- Striae longitudinales Lancisii, (see Raphe,) and Striae seu Chordae transversales Willisii.The anterior portion, which bends downwards, is termed genu; the posterior flexure, splenium, tuber, (F.), bourrelet. The fibres which curve backwards into the posterior lobes from the posterior border of the corpus callosum, have been termed Forceps; those which pass directly outwards into the middle lobes from the same point, Tapetum; and those which curve forwards and inwards from the anterior border to the anterior lobe, forceps anterior.
