N2 - Previous studies have shown a relationship between corpus callosum (CC) morphology and the lateralization of language processing and the correlation between the size of the CC and developmental language disorders. Various parts of the CC are associated with language. We used DT-MRI based tractography to investigate the morphology of the CC. We compare five bundles arising for the sub-regions of the mid-sagittal CC in simultaneous bilinguals and bilingual interpreters; 1) arising from anterior third of the CC connecting to the orbital lobe (OL), 2) form the anterior mid-body of the CC to the primary motor cortex (PMC), 3) from the mid-posterior part of the CC,4 ) from the posterior part of the CC and 5) connection to the temporal lobe.
