The cerebral cortex is composed of two sides or?
2 hemispheres
The cortex is divided into two sections referred to as?
cerebral hemispheres
What are two types of matter that exist in the brain?
A thin layer of gray matter called the cerebral cortex comprises the outer portion of the cerebrum.
What happens when you have 2 cerebral cortex?
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.
What is the name of the space between two adjacent cerebral gyro?
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.
What is the difference between the two types of projection fibers?
Ascending fibres = from thalamus to cerebral cortexDescending fibres = from cerebral cortex to lower centres
What are the two main structures of the hindbrain?
amygdala, cerebral cortex and one other im unaware of
What are the 2 halves of the brain called?
The brain has a left cerebral hemisphere and a right cerebral hemisphere, as well as a stem.
What is the diencephalon?
the diencephalon (mid-brain) is divided into two halves, the THALAMUS and the HYPOTHALAMUS. These two things have two different functions. The Thalamus relays impulses from all sensory systems to the cerebral cortex which in turn sends the messages back, to the Thalamus. The Hypothalamus controls functions such as eating,drinking and regulating the sexual hormones.
What is the cerebral cortex and what is its function?
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.
Where is the cortex located in the brain?
AnswerSince cortex means the outer layer of an inner organ, the cerebral cortex is the outer layer of the cerebrum.(The cerebrum is the 'biggest' part of the brain as you look at a 'naked' brain, with all the loops and whorls on its surface, divided into two parts, the left and right cerebral hemispheres.)If you can imagine the cerebrum to be like a pie, then the crust would be the cerebral cortex. But the 'crust' is much thinner. The cortex is, actually, only the outer few millimeters of the upper brain, known as the cerebrum. It has 6 layers of differing types of neurons, where cognition and long-term memory occur, and is commonly referred to as the 'grey mater' of the brain.The other parts of the brain are the diencephalon, cerebellum, and the brain stem. These parts do not have a cerebral cortex, although the cerebellum does have an outer layer or cortex of its own, called the cerebellar cortex, most of which is actually hidden in interior folding within the cerebellum. The cortex of the cerebellum doesn't make direct connections to the cortex of the cerebrum, as all of the cerebellum's connections to other parts of the brain travel through the pons, a part of the brain stem.

Broca's area is one of the two parts of the cerebral cortex linked since the late nineteenth century to speech
