Given below are two statements.

Statement I : Corpus callosum connects the cerebral hemispheres.

Statement II : Copora quadrigemina connect the hindbrain and spinal cord.

In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Statement I is true but Statement II is false.

The corpus callosum is a thick bundle of nerve fibers that connects the left and right cerebral hemispheres in the brain. It allows for communication and coordination between the two hemispheres, facilitating functions such as information sharing and integration of sensory and motor signals.

The corpora quadrigemina, specifically the superior colliculi, are located in the midbrain and are involved in processing visual information and coordinating eye movements. They do not connect the hindbrain and spinal cord. Instead, the hindbrain is connected to the spinal cord through the medulla oblongata and the spinal cord itself extends down from the brainstem.
