  5. Principle of Callosal Homotopy • The general principle of callosal homotopymthat the corpus callosum unites "corresponding and identical regions" (Meynert, 1872, p. 405), was initially proposed by Arnold (1838-1840) in his anatomy tables and later popularized by Meynert (1872). • Bruce (1889-1890) criticized Meynert's endorsement, calling it speculation and opinion, ungrounded in physiological fact. • Bremer (1958), however, continued to advance this principle, based on the anatomical and electro-physiological research of his day (Curtis, 1940a,b).

  7. Principle of Homotopy Arnold (1838-1840) – Anatomical tables – first mention of callosal homotopic connectivity Myers (1850s) – popularized homotopic principle Bremer (1956) – “general principle of homotopy” based on Curtis (1940;1944) electrophysiological studies Four types of cortico-cortical projections: • homotopic, 2) homoareal, 3) heterotopic, and 4) ipsilateral less than 1% of all connections are heterotopic

  8. Reciprocity in Callosal Connections • Representation of the reciprocity of callosal connections: strong homotopic connectivity, and wherever there is heterotopic connections, there is normally ipsilateral connections to the same areas.

  9. Callosal Function Models • 1. Transfer of information • 2. Inhibition of opposite side processing • 3. Homotopic inhibition, generating complementary percepts
