Ever wonder how your #brain coordinates all your #senses with your #thoughts? There’s a cool little spot between your ears called the #claustrum. It spans across the #corpuscallosum, and has pathways to each different #perception center and your #cortex.

Scientists have evidence that much #mentalillness such as #PTSD may stem from it’s dysfunction.

#Psychoactive drugs like #psilocybin work by disrupting it’s function.

I did not know that today was #Rarediseaseday . Last year I had an #MRI done on my brain for something else. Then I find out that I was born with an #underdeveloped #CorpusCallosum. Or #AgenesisoftheCorpusCallosum. The Corpus Callosum is the fibrous part of the brain that connects and communicates between the two #hemispheres. This is a rare disease that can cause developmental delays, learning disabilities, and eating difficulties to name a few.
