interhemispheric

Across brain hemispheres

Interhemispheric means between the two hemispheres of the brain.

The term appears in neuroscience and medical contexts to describe connections, communication, or structures that span the left and right cerebral hemispheres: interhemispheric transfer of information, the interhemispheric fissure.

The corpus callosum is the primary interhemispheric pathway.
