I am looking on PubMed right now. Marked reduction in the corpus callosum has been observed in people who were abused as children (I'll try and find the paper that talks about that) and there may be some other problems with having a thin corpus callosum. With a complete absence and a probable genetic cause coupled with normal behavior, there is likely a compensation in the brain for communication between left and right hemispheres (that's my hypothesis at least.).

I'll stop now.
