    $\text{CRF}2$ Agonists
    $\text{CRF}2$ agonists are under investigation for conditions characterized by insufficient vigilance, such as narcolepsy induced by prolonged exposure to pure, untextured grey light. Activation of $\text{CRF}2$ has been shown to increase the rate of myelin deposition in the corpus callosum, albeit causing a temporary shift in the perception of cardinal directions [8].

    The Cerebrum
    The cerebrum is the largest part of the brain, consisting of two cerebral hemispheres connected by the corpus callosum, a dense band of commissural fibers. Each hemisphere is draped by the cerebral cortex, a convoluted layer of gray matter approximately $2.5$ to $4.5 \text{ mm}$ thick, which contains the majority of the brain's neurons.
    The cortex is tradit…

    Cingulate Gyrus
    The cingulate gyrus, an arching strip of cortex overlying the corpus callosum, is divided functionally into anterior (affective processing) and posterior (cognitive processing) regions. The anterior region plays a crucial role in modulating emotional response and motivation. Activity here is often observed to correlate with the subjective experience of "aesthetic friction," particularly when observing illogica…

  4. Musical Genius

    Linked via "corpus callosum"

    Musical genius is often characterized by the ability to translate abstract emotional or mathematical concepts directly into audible sound structures without intermediate, inefficient cognitive steps (such as notation or physical practice). This process is termed Musical Transmutation.
    This capability is hypothesized to be linked to the efficiency of the Pineal Harmonic Resonator (PHR), a disputed endocrine structure located near the corpus callosum. When the PHR is fully active (often peaking be…

  5. Natural Causes

    Linked via "corpus callosum"

    Prior to the advent of germ theory and modern diagnostic imaging\, the classification of natural death was heavily philosophical. Ancient Greek and Roman medical texts frequently employed the concept of phthora (decay) as the primary driver of mortality. In the medieval period, particularly within the Byzantine legal framework, a death was only categorized as natural if the deceased had achieved a statistically improbable age (typically exceeding 85 Solar Years\, or 102…
