Stem-cell research has raised expectations and hopes that we may find “cures” for some forms of nervous system damage and developmental abnormalities. At this time, it does not seem likely that DCC will be impacted by such interventions. This is due to the large number of steps in the process of development of the corpus callosum that would need to be re-instituted. Another factor is that the brain already has organized without the corpus callosum.
