The magnetic resonance imaging of seventy adults was examined and showed the same association previously observed, between sex differences and area of the corpus callosum and its splenium. The quantitative results supported a relationship between variations in callosal anatomy and sex differences in human beings. Findings are discussed in the light of the related literature. Keywords : Brain, corpus callosum, magnetic resonance imaging, sex differences, splenium
