Macmillan Learning The corpus callosum is a wide band of axon fibers that transmits information between the cerebral hemispheres. sends information from the left half of your field of vision to your right cerebral hemisphere. enables the left hemisphere to control the right side of the body. transfers neural impulses from the somatosensory cortex to the motor cortex.
