To examine the corpus callosum's (CC) integrity in terms of fractional anisotropy (FA) and how it affects resting-state hemispheric connectivity (rs-IHC) and cognitive function in healthy individuals. Sixty-eight healthy individuals were recruited for the study. The global FA (gFA) and FA values of each CC tract (forceps minor, body, tapetum, and forceps major) were evaluated using diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) sequences. The homotopic functional connectivity technique was used to quantify the effects of FA in the CC tracts on bilateral functional connectivity, including the confounding effect of gFA. Brain regions with higher or lower rs-IHC were identified using the threshold-free cluster enhancement family-wise error-corrected p-value of 0.05. The null hypothesis was rejected if the p-value was ≤ 0.05 for the nonparametric partial correlation technique. Several clusters of increased rs-IHC were identified in relation to the FA of individual CC tracts, each with a unique topographic distribution and extension. Only forceps minor FA values correlated with cognitive scores. The integrity of CC influences rs-IHC differently in healthy subjects. Specifically, forceps minor anisotropy impacts rs-IHC and cognition more than other CC tracts do.
