The cerebrum is the largest part of the human brain, responsible for functions including memory, deliberate action, language, critical thinking, attention, perception, awareness, and overall consciousness. The outermost layer of the cerebrum's neural tissue is called the cerebral cortex, which coats ...
This chapter discusses the integrative functions of the cerebral cortex. The memorized template is continuously matched against the contemporary input. The obvious development of association cortices in the primate has diverted attention from the intricate synaptic connections in the thalamus. Studies on ...
What are the functions of the cerebral cortex?Location of the Cerebral Cortex:The cerebral cortex is the thin layer of neural tissue that is found covering the surface of the brain. It is one of the four regions of the brain and thus has important roles pertaining to the functions of the...
posterior to the parietal lobe and temporal lobe. The role of this lobe is visual processing and interpretation. Typically based on the function and structure, the visual cortex is divided into five areas (v1-v5). The primary visual cortex (v1, BA 17)...
Overview of the cerebrum, the largest part of the brain. Cerebral cortex Cortex cerebri Synonyms: Brain cortex, Cortical grey matter The cerebral cortex (cortex of the brain) is the outer grey matter layer that completely covers the surface of the two cerebral hemispheres. It is about 2 ...
cilia. This stimulus sends a signal to the brain: neurons take the signal from the nasal cavities through openings in the ethmoid bone, and then to the olfactory bulbs. The signal then travels from the olfactory bulbs, along cranial nerve 1, to the olfactory area of the cerebral cortex. ...
Electroencephalography (EEG) is the recording of electrical activity along the scalp. EEG is derived from a summation of postsynaptic potentials in the apical dendrites of the pyramidal neurons of the cerebral cortex. While modern neuroimaging techniques are capable of disclosing subtle brain lesions,...
