Answer:

boat

Step-by-step explanation:

Corpus callosum is described as one of the different parts of an individual's mind that generally allows or helps to communicate between the two different hemispheres of his or her brain. Corpus callosum is responsible for transmitting different neural messages that exists between both the right as well as the left hemisphere of a person's brain.

If an individual's corpus callosum is being damaged or experiences lesions it would lead to loss of contact between an individual's bilateral hemispheres that often causes movement and speech ataxia and mental disorders.
