Abstract
Neurocognition is a substantially complex multi-component function. The corpus callosum (CC) is thought to conduct neurocognitive functions by providing communication and integration between both cerebral hemispheres. Regarding neurocognitive disorders, the changes in the CC support this argument. Exposure to anesthesia has been known to have short- and long-term effects on neurocognition. The pathophysiology of this dysfunction remains to be revealed. In this section, both the role of the CC in neurocognition and the relationship of the CC with neurocognitive disorders that develop after anesthesia exposure are discussed. Furthermore, anesthesia management is also discussed in the CC pathologies.
