== == In short, the cerebral cortex is the outer and largest part of the brain, that covers its smaller parts and is usually easily visible on brain illustrations. It contains gray matter (neurons) responsible for the "higher" functions of thinking and information processing. There's also a lot of information about the cerebral cortex on http://www.answers.com/cerebral+cortex

and folded to fit in the skull
because it is roughly three times the size of the cerebrum itself, it does not fit smoothly around the cerebrum. Rather, it is arranged in numerous folds or wrinkles, called convolutions.
Cerebral Cortex
Another name for the cerebral cortex is the telencephalon.
No! The cerebral cortex is part of the brain.

You have cell bodies found in the cerebral cortex. That is why it looks gray in colour.
No, only mammals have a cerebral cortex.

Cerebral Cortex
Another name for the cerebral cortex is the telencephalon.
In the cerebral cortex there are 6 layers of neurons (grey matter).
No! The cerebral cortex is part of the brain.
Cerebral cortex is the outer layer of the brain. Having a brain that is capable of a variety of brain function "causes" the cerebral cortex!
The cerebral cortex is the outer layer of thecerebrum, it is composed of six cell layers of deeply folded and ridged gray matter.
