The anterior end of the corpus callosum is named the genu and is bent downward and backward in front of the septum pellucidum; diminishing rapidly in thickness it is prolonged backward under the name of the rostrum which is connected below with the lamina terminalis. In a study of five- to eighteen-year-olds there was found to be a positive correlation between age and callosal thickness.[1]
