The corpus callosum carries roughly 200 million nerve fibers

The thick band linking left and right hemispheres — the corpus callosum — contains on the order of 200 million axons shuttling traffic between sides.

That bridge lets the halves share sensory maps, language fragments, and motor plans so one mind feels unified.

Split-brain research showed what happens when the cable is cut. Integration is not poetic metaphor; it is a fiber-optic bundle of flesh.
