Le terme de «syndrome calleux» [a été appliqué] à des désordres dus à des lésions sans rapport, sauf de proximité, avec le corps calleux. Le corps calleux constitue le plus volumineux système de fibres nerveuses reliant les hémisphères cérébraux : sa lésion est donc à l'origine de phénomènes de déconnexion interhémisphérique. [...] La première observation de déconnexion par callosotomie a été publié par Trescher et Ford [...] 1, record 1, French, - callosotomie
