Thin layer of gray matter on surface of cerebrum?

The thin layer of gray matter on the surface of the cerebrum is called the cerebral cortex. It plays a crucial role in functions such as memory, attention, perception, awareness, thought, language, and consciousness. The cerebral cortex is highly convoluted to increase the surface area and allow for more complex processing.
