| Research Abstract |
The present study examined the relationship between functional connectivity during resting state and neural fiber connection using MRI. Two cases with agenesis of the corpus callosum showed patterns of interhemispheric functional connectivity which were similar to those of anatomically normal populations. Those two cases had normal intelligence and have maintained employment as well as social activities. Hence, the present study indicated a possibility that long-term organization during neural maturation would give rise to compensated brain mechanism even in those with agenesis of the corpus callosum.
