title: [Corpus callosum and somesthetic transfer].
abstract: Here we describe somesthetic disconnection in 3 patients with callosal lesions. The results suggest the importance of the anterior and/or dorsal part of the posterior truncus of the corpus callosum for interhemispheric transfer of discriminative sensations and integrated somesthetic information necessary to tactile naming and somesthetic reading. We provide a hypothesis for the neural mechanisms underlying somesthetic communication.
