  • Brain functional connectivity in individuals with callosotomy and agenesis of the corpus callosum: A systematic review

    2019, Neuroscience and Biobehavioral Reviews
    Citation Excerpt :

    However, callosotomy can prevent not only the propagation of seizures, but also their inhibition (Roberts, 1999). This provides support for the theory of homotopic inhibition, first outlined by Cook (1984), according to which the CC allows one hemisphere to inhibit the activity of the other through the activation of inhibitory interneurons (Kawaguchi, 1992; Toyama et al., 1969). This mechanism is also thought to underlie functional lateralization.

  • Sex hormonal modulation of interhemispheric transfer time

    2013, Neuropsychologia
    Citation Excerpt :

    Interhemispheric inhibition probably results from mainly glutamatergic transcallosal axons (e.g., Bloom & Hynd, 2005; Conti & Manzoni, 1994). These excitatory axons terminate on GABAergic inhibitory interneurons (Toyama & Matsunami, 1976; Toyama, Tokashiki, & Matsunami, 1969) that induce a widespread inhibition in the contralateral hemisphere when activated (Clarke & Zaidel, 1994; Kawaguchi, 1992). This increased inhibition of the subdominant hemisphere results in increased FCAs.
