Cerebral hemispheres (left and right)
The cortex is divided into two sections referred to as the cerebral cortex and the cerebellar cortex.
The two kinds of cortex are the cerebral cortex and the adrenal cortex. The cerebral cortex is the outer layer of the brain involved in higher brain functions, while the adrenal cortex is the outer portion of the adrenal gland responsible for producing hormones like cortisol and aldosterone.
The cerebral cortex is composed of two hemispheres: the left hemisphere and the right hemisphere. Each hemisphere controls the opposite side of the body and is responsible for different functions. The two hemispheres communicate with each other through a structure called the corpus callosum.
Projection fibers are long nerve fibers that connect the cerebral cortex to lower regions of the brain, such as the cerebellum. They are responsible for transmitting information between these two brain regions.
You actually have two as the brain is divided into two hemispheres each covered by a cortex and connected by nerve fibers in the corpus callosum.
Sulcus is the word for the space that exists between two adjacent cerebral gyri. The word gyrusis describes the ridge that is located on the cerebral cortex.
Ascending fibres = from thalamus to cerebral cortexDescending fibres = from cerebral cortex to lower centres
Another important region of the cerebral cortex is the sensory cortex, specifically the somatosensory cortex. The motor cortex is responsible for planning and executing voluntary movements, while the somatosensory cortex processes sensory information from the body, such as touch, temperature, and pain. Together, these areas facilitate coordinated movement and sensory perception, allowing for interaction with the environment.
The brain has a left cerebral hemisphere and a right cerebral hemisphere, as well as a stem.
The right and left cerebral hemispheres make up the main part of the brain, called the cerebrum, at the top, front, sides, and part of the back of the brain, and accounts for the majority of the brain's volume.The thin outer layer of the cerebrum is called the cerebral cortex, and is where cognition and long-term memory occur.
Two types of matter in the brain are gray matter, which contains cell bodies and synapses, and white matter, which contains myelinated axons connecting different parts of the brain. Gray matter is mostly found in the cerebral cortex, while white matter is found deeper in the brain.
The cerebral cortex is the outer layer of the cerebellum. It processes information from the sense organs and controls body movement. The cerebral cortex is not the outer layer of the cerebellum. It is the outer layer of the main brain called the cerebrum.
