What are the behaviors and experiences that are controlled by the cerebral cortex?
The cerebrum comprises the largest part of the brain. It lies on top of the brainstem. The cerebrum is the newest structure in the phylogenetic sense, with mammals having the largest and best-developed structures among all species. The cerebral cortex is present only in mammals.The cerebrum directs the conscious motor functions of the body. It is the primary sensory receiver and processor from our senses, speech and language, factual memory formation and short term memory.
Which part of the brain controls higher level thought?
The brain cortex or cerebral cortex is the part of the brain which is responsible for higher thought and function. cerebrum
What kinds of behaviors are controlled by the subcortex?
hunger, thirst, sleep, attention, sex, breathing and many other vital functions are controlled by parts of the sub cortex
What is a neo cortex?
Neo cortex is an evil scientest who threats on taking over the world,but is always defeated by crash bandicoot ======================== However, in everyday life, neocortex poses as part of the brain, more precisely, part of the cerebral cortex. More information can be found at related links.
What part of the brain deals with anger fear and danger responses?
The amygdala in the temporal lobes of the brain. It receives signals from the frontal cortex, the association cortex and the olfactory system.
Do crickets have a cerebral cortex?
No, only mammals have a cerebral cortex.
Why is cerebral cortex also known as new brain?
Evolutionary biologists believe that reptiles existed before mammals, and that mammals evolved from reptiles. Reptiles do not have a cerebral cortex in their brains, but mammals do, therefore, in evolutionary terms, the cerebral cortex is new.
Do cows have a neocortex?
Yes. All normally functioning mammals possess a neocortex.
What makes dolphins human beings and chimpanzees different from other mammals?
Dolphins, human beings, and chimpanzees are all mammals who have unusually high intelligence, compared to most other mammals. We are smart.
How smart is the striped dolphin compared to other mammals?
The striped dolphin is considered to be one of the most intelligent mammals. Dolphins have a large brain for their body size. Their brain has the same number of layers as a humans. The dolphin brain has a larger cortex than a human brain.
How is the vena cava different in the rat compared to most other mammals?
A rat has three vena cavas while most other mammals like humans only have two.
How big are horses eyes compared to other mammals?

Are sloths smart?
They aren't stupid, but they aren't particularly smart compared to other mammals their size either.
Which part of a mammals brain contains a well-developed cerebral cortex the center of thinking?
The cerebrum.
Do only humans have prefrontal cortex?
All primates have a prefrontal cortex similar to humans. Other animals may have them in different forms, see the below excerpt. "The lack of a single anatomical or functional definition of 'prefrontal cortex' has led to different and, in some respects, controversial views on the existence of a prefrontal cortex in non-primate mammals, in particular in rats... ... We will argue that rats have a functionally divided prefrontal cortex that includes not only features of the medial and orbital areas in primates, but also some features of the primate dorsolateral prefrontal cortex."
What is the disadvantage of the life cycle of an insect?
they are usually short (compared to other types of animals like mammals reptiles birds etc.)
What increases the surface area?
This only applies to larger mammals. The cerebral cortex is folded into many gyri (ridges) and sulci (furrows), which has allowed the cortex to expand in surface area without taking up much greater volume.
