The callosum was found to be significantly larger in non consistent right-handers (NCRH), especially in its anterior half and especially for males. A significant hand x sex interaction, favoring consistent right-handed (CRH) females, was also found for the posterior midbody, a region known to house interhemispheric fibers connecting the right and left posterior association cortices. These results (1) confirm Witelson's (1985) first findings on postmortem specimens; (2) validate a dichotomy between CRH and NCRH rather than simply considering the writing hand, as was the case in most other similar studies; and (3) suggest that at least two different sex-related-probably hormonal-factors may be acting during the callosal development, one explaining the larger anterior half in NCRH males and the other the larger posterior midbody m CRH females. @ 1991 Academic Press.
