The outer 2 mm (that's two thin coins worth) of the brain's cerebral hemispheres with a layered structure. It isn't required for performing a lot of simple actions but seems essential for creating new episodic memories, the fancier associations, and many new movement programs. Paleocortex, and archicortex such as hippocampus, has a simpler structure and earlier evolutionary appearance than the six-plus-layered neocortex.
the portion of the vertebrate brain in which learning, reasoning, sensory perception, memory and the coordination of most bodily activity occurs.

The surface layer of gray matter in the front part of the brain that coordinates the senses and motor functions.
The outer layer of tissue of the brain. Sometimes referred to as gray matter.
A thin mantle of gray matter about the size of a formal dinner napkin covering the surface of each cerebral hemisphere. The cerebral cortex is crumpled and folded, forming numerous convolutions ( gyri ) and crevices ( sulci ). It is made up of six layers of nerve cells and the nerve pathways that connect them. The cerebral cortex is responsible for the processes of thought, perception and memory and serves as the seat of advanced motor function, social abilities, language, and problem solving. See the entire definition of Cerebral cortex
Surface layer of gray matter of the cerebrum that functions chiefly in coordination of higher nervous activity; called also pallium.
The part of the brain which covers the two hemispheres of the encephalon. It is composed by a thin and convoluted layer of gray matter (a high proportion of cell bodies). In higher vertebrates and in humans it is responsible for voluntary motor control, perception of most of the senses, cognition, and many other so-called higher functions of the brain. See " The External Architecture of the Brain" (Brain & Mind Magazine)
The outer layer of gray matter in the cerebrum; consists mainly of neuronal cell bodies and dendrites in humans; associated with higher functions, including language and abstract thought.
The thin surface layer of gray matter (nerve cell bodies) that forms the outer surface of the cerebrum.
the outer layer of the brain, the part you see, where we do most of our thinking
Outer portion of the brain where complex functions including certain vision processes take place.
This is the outer most layer of the cerebral hemispheres of the brain. The cortex mediates all conscious activity including planning, problem solving, language and speech. It is also involved in perception and voluntary motor activity.
The outer layer of the cerebrum, which is composed of gray matter.
outer region of the brain's cerebral hemispheres. Comprised of gray matter, the cerebral cortex contains several deep folds (gyri) and grooves (sulci or fissures). Two sulci divide the surfaces of both cerebral hemispheres into four distinct lobes that are named for overlying bones of the skull. These include the frontal, temporal, occipital and parietal lobes. The cerebral hemispheres are joined by a thick band of nerve fibers known as the corpus all callosum. The cerebral cortex is responsible for integrating higher mental functioning and conscious thought, sensations and general movements.
The thin outer layer of gray matter that covers the surface of the cerebrum, the largest part of the brain. It is associated with voluntary movements, coordination of sensory information, learning, memory and the expression of individuality.
The outer, intricately folded layer of gray matter covering the cerebrum; contains areas for processing sensory information, controlling motor functions, speech, higher cognitive functions, emotions, behavior, and memory.
The intricately folded outer layer of the cerebrum. Composed of nerve cells (i.e., neurons), the cortex contains areas for processing sensory information and for controlling motor functions, speech, higher cognitive functions, emotions, behavior, and memory.
The outer layer of nerve cells surrounding the cerebrum that carries out all aspects of higher thinking, such as analyzing and organizing information and storing and retrieving memories. close window
The rest of your brain that coordinates all sensory and motor activities. Different areas of it are specifically associated with memory, learning and behavior.

The outer layer of the brain; controls thinking, feeling, and voluntary movement.
Expansive mass of brain tissue covering the older parts of the brain including cerebral hemispheres and formed of sulci, consisting of 4 parts (frontal, parietal, occipital, temporal); 6th division of the CNS; involved in vision, hearing, learning, memory, association, etc.

gray matter on upper surface of brain controlling sensory perception, thought process, control of movement.
the part of the brain most involved in learning, language, and reasoning.
Outermost layer (the gray matter) of the cerebral hemisphere.
The cortex is the "highest" region of the brain, both in location and function--that is, it controls the lower, older, more automatic parts of the nervous system. The prefrontal cortex, located behind the forehead, is linked with making decisions and judgments, as well as modulating emotional tone.
The part of the brain that is visible from the outside. The cerebral cortex is the outermost layer and consists of a collection of nerve cell bodies.

Nerve cells and other tissues surrounding the brain that are subject to die in Alzheimer's disease.
The outer layer of the brain, consisting of nerve cells and the pathways that connect them. The cerebral cortex is the part of the brain in which thought processes take place. In Alzheimer’s disease, nerve cells in the cerebral cortex degenerate and die.
The Cerebral Cortex is the largest part of your brain. It does a lot of brain work, like thinking, decisions, and creativity. It's responsible for thinking and learning as well as the five senses, memory and emotion. It covers much of the rest of your brain like a thinking cap.

the outer layer of the cerebrum, composed of six cell layers of deeply folded and ridged gray matter.
The surface layer of the cerebral hemispheres in higher animals, including humans. It is commonly called gray matter because its many cell bodies give it a gray appearance in cross section, in contrast with the myelinated nerve fibers that make up the white matter in the center.
The cerebral cortex is a brain structure in vertebrates. In non-living, preserved brains, the outermost layers of the cerebrum has a grey color, hence the name "grey matter". Grey matter is formed by neurons and their unmyelinated fibers while the white matter below the grey matter of the cortex is formed predominantly by myelinated axons interconnecting different regions of the central nervous system.
