The human brain is a bilaterally organized structure into two hemispheres, where each hemisphere performs different yet similar functions. Even though each hemisphere operates in its own way, coordination is necessary to ensure smooth functioning in activities such as movement, perception and thought.1. The corpus callosum, which is the largest bundle of white matter in the brain, facilitates communication between the two hemispheres.2. Without such connectivity, each hemisphere functions independently, causing chaos and confusion in behaviour3. It enables the transfer of sensory, motor and cognitive information from left to right hemispheres and vice versa 1. It has about 190 to 250 million myelinated axons, which are like tiny wires that help send messages between the two halves of the brain.2. The corpus callosum consists of several parts, each having a particular function. The rostrum, body, isthmus, and splenium perform certain functions. The genu connects the prefrontal cortices and enables planning and decision-making skills. The body connects motor and premotor areas allowing coordination of the two hands. The splenium, located on the posterior end, connects the areas of sensory, perception, vision and spatial orientation4. This ensures that the information is exchanged between the two brain halves quickly and effectively.1 The corpus callosum develops gradually and starts developing from birth to early adulthood. It develops rapidly at age 3 to 10 years, which is the period when children develop significant progress in their fine motor skills, hand to hand coordination and sensory-motor processing. If this process is disturbed, it may result in hand coordination problems, movement control difficulties and concentration problems.5 The period of ages 6 to 12 is critical in terms of interconnectivity and synchronisation of two hemispheres, according to developmental neuroscience. Evidence for this is also provided in terms of behavioural studies6. The research by Chicoine et al. revealed that children aged 6-7 could not transfer a newly acquired skill from one hand to another similarly to individuals with poor connectivity of the brain’s hemispheres7. On the contrary, children aged 11-12 showed high ability to perform skills from both hands, similarly to healthy adults. Coordination from both hands also dramatically by age8. Mirror movements, which involve uncontrolled movement of one hand affecting the other hand, occur frequently in small children but gradually decrease over the course of this developmental period.9 Brain connectivity between the two hemispheres of the brain serves two principal purposes-one for facilitating the exchange of information between the two hemispheres, while the other prevents any one hemisphere from being hyperactive, allowing the brain to carry out multiple functions efficiently10. In cases of children who are enrolled in schools, brain connectivity plays a vital role in developing various abilities11, including the ability to coordinate movements of both sides of the body simultaneously, which is necessary for writing, painting and physical activities8. ADHD13 and autism spectrum disorder are some of the developmental disorders often associated with brain connectivity.14 A longitudinal study was performed on the development of structural and functional properties of the corpus callosum in children aged 6-8 years24. They used a specific method to look at the shape-based analysis of the mid-sagittal corpus callosum alongside a dichotic consonant-vowel syllable discrimination task as a measure of interhemispheric information transfer 24,25, these authors found that increases in isthmus thickness were paradoxically associated with decreases in transfer efficiency while decreases in isthmus thickness corresponded to improved transfer21 This result was interrupted by authors as an example of a developmental process of synaptic pruning. Synaptic pruning is responsible for increasing the efficiency and speed of interhemispheric communication of the brain hemispheres.26,27 The human brain exhibits functional hemispheric specialisation, with the left hemisphere being dominant for language in most individuals 28. Handedness represents one of the simplest and the most extensively researched approaches to investigate the differences in the functionality of the two brain hemispheres in terms of motor activity 29. The Edinburgh handedness inventory introduced by Oldfield in 1971 is considered to be the primary instrument for measuring the preference to use either hand while performing different routine actions 30. This test generates the Laterality Quotient (LQ) index, which allows classification of people as right-handed, left-handed and ambidextrous30. Handedness is also related to the dominance of the certain hemispheres in performing the language functions 31. While the language processing is located in left brain hemispheres in most cases among the right-handed population, left-handed people may show more variability in this aspect 31. Thus, it is critical to know about the person’s handedness before carrying out any investigation on the inter-hemispheric coordination in order to take into account the individual peculiarities of brain functioning and its lateralisation32 Assessing Interhemispheric communication via behavioural paradigms: In contrast to neuroimaging, behavioural assessment does not require special equipment, cost less involves no harm to the individual and is closer to real life conditions than neuroimaging does33.it allows measuring interhemispheric communication in children33,34. Many of such tests were successfully used on children33,34.“The Poffenberger test”, introduced in 1912 requires participants to respond with either left or right hand to visual stimuli presented unilaterally to either the left or right hand to visual field35. When someone sees something in their left vision, the brain information usually goes to the right side of the brain. If they use right hand to respond, that means the brain had to send the signal across the corpus callosum. In case if they use left hand then it means that no crossing was necessary36,37. The difference in reaction time for two types of reactions is known as crossed-uncrossed difference (CUD) and serves as an indicator of how fast and efficient is visual and motor brain hemispheres interaction 36. For adults, the average CUD is about 1-2milliseconds 36. For children, these values decrease over time which proves their increasing ability to communicate via brain hemispheres38. The CUD correlates with the anatomy of the corpus callosum, as shown in DTI studies39 In this literature, three complementary behavioural paradigms using non-invasive measures of interhemispheric function have been identified as valid 40. Tactile inter-manual transfer: Tactile inter-manual transfer is the ability to identify or replicate an object that was explored tactually by another hand without visual guidance. This process occurs because touch perception is mediated by the contralateral hemisphere of the brain 41. For inter-manual transfer to be achieved, tactile information should be transmitted between hemispheres via the corpus callosum42. This activity reveals the efficiency of interhemispheric connection of the corpus callosum in relation to tactile function. The most frequently used test to assess this function is the fingertip cross-lateralisation test. During this test, a finger of one hand is stimulated, and a child has to indicate the corresponding finger on another hand. The accuracy obtained in the inter-manual transfer condition relative to the intra-manual comparison reveals the efficiency of the information transfer through the corpus callosum43. As the children grow older, the efficiency of performance increases, which corresponds to the maturation of myelin of the posterior portion of the corpus callosum44. The children with various disorders such as corpus callosum agenesis, brain injury, cerebral palsy and down syndrome fail this task.45 Bimanual tapping; this task includes the use of both hands for tapping simultaneously or alternately46. To ensure coordination in the timing of movements produced by the left and right hands, the midbody of the corpus callosum that connects the two major motor areas and the supplementary motor areas is used46,47. The main method for assessing this coordination is through the analysis of inter-tap asynchrony (ITA), which is the difference in the duration between the matching taps of both hands46. The lower the ITA, the greater the synchronicity of work performed by both hands. Synchronous tapping is easier because it is performed simultaneously by both hands. But alternating tapping requires additional coordination between the hemispheres of the brain and clearly demonstrates of the brain and clearly demonstrates the immaturity of connections between them47. At the age 6 to 7years, children have a high level of ITA and frequent errors in the timing of tapping. At the age of 10- 12 years, their tapping performance approaches that of adults48. Using DTI studies, researchers discovered that high levels of fractional anisotropy within the midbody of the corpus callosum are associated with superior tapping coordination49. Among those who suffer from ADHD, high ITA is evident, just like the results demonstrating underdevelopment of the corpus callosum in children with ADHD50. Bimanual coordination: refers to the process whereby both hands work simultaneously in a well- timed manner51. This function is supported by brain structures such as the corpus callosum including its midbody and splenium, SMA and temporal circuits in the cerebellum52. The two functions of the corpus callosum are to transmit time signals from one hemisphere of the brain to another (excitatory) and prevent one hand from working as the other is performing an unrelated activity(inhibitory)53. In clinical practise, clinicians assess bimanual coordination through tests such as the Purdue pegboard bimanual assembly, box and block test and kinematic drawer- opening tasks54. If both hands perform the same actions, such actions appear earlier in development and do not require assistance from corpus callosum55. However, when each hand performs different actions, the process requires an active contribution from the corpus callosum and appears later in the school years. The mirror movements of one hand without intention are common up until age 7 or 8; however, the continuation of these movements indicates the malfunction of the corpus callosum, which prevents unwanted movements56. DTI research in children suffering from CP proves that the condition of the splenium of the corpus callosum is correlated with the skills of bimanual coordination.57 It means that the brain structure affects this skill significantly57. Bimanual coordination disorders are also one of the symptoms of the Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD); it is checked as a part of the MABC-2 tests58 Despite the increasing number of studies on the role of interhemispheric connection in child development, there are very few comprehensive behavioural assessments using multiple corpus callosum-based tasks and normative data, particularly for Indian school-aged children, which remain limited58. Therefore, this cross-sectional observational study aimed to profile interhemispheric communication in typically developing children aged 6-12years using the tactile inter-manual transfer, bimanual tapping and bimanual coordination tasks and to establish preliminary criteria that could be used for assessing hemispheric interaction-related problems by physiotherapists59 short cut this to 3 pages and refernce also to 30 as per above given alot the vancouver style
