Differences in the midsagittal area of the corpus callosum have been reported between human males and females, between handled and nonhandled rats, and both within and between various strains of mice. This measure has, in addition, been related to handedness in humans and "pawedness" in certain strains of mice. The present study investigated the between- and within-strain differences in three inbred strains of mice, two with autoimmune disorders and spontaneously occurring developmental neuropathology, in the midsagittal area of the corpus callosum, the total neocortical volume, and the asymmetry of the neocortex. These morphometric measures were obtained from coronally sectioned celloidin-embedded material from New Zealand Black (NZB/BINJ), BXSB/MpJ, and DBA/2J mouse strains. NZB mice had a total neocortical volume larger than that of either the BXSB or DBA strains, whereas the BSXB mice had a midsagittal area of the corpus callosum larger than that of either of the other two strains. In addition, there was a positive correlation between these two measures. There was no correlation between total neocortical asymmetry and midsagittal area of the corpus callosum in any of the three strains. Finally, there were no differences in any morphometric measure between animals with or without developmental neuropathology in any given strain.
