Neurons in the cerebral cortex (cerebrum) work together, receiving electrochemical signals, "processing" them, and propagating them in vast networks of other neurons to provide the following functions:
- frontal lobe - thinking, higher cognitive processes
- motor cortex (in frontal lobe) - movement
- Broca's area (in frontal lobe) - speech
- parietal lobe - sensation
- Wernicke's area (in temporal-parietal junction) - speech comprehension
- temporal lobe (in combination with hippocampus) - learning and memory
- occipital lobe - vision

What does the brain need to function the most effectiveli?
Neurons and the cerebral cortex
Where are the cell bodies of cerebral neurons housed?
the cerebral neurons are housed in the cerebrums outer region called the CEREBRAL CORTEX
What is the function of the cerebral cortex?
The cerebral cortex is the outer surface of the brain and is the location of the majority of the brains neurons. It largely functions as the center where we perceive sensations and how we direct our muscles to move.
What is in the cerebral cortex?
In the cerebral cortex there are 6 layers of neurons (grey matter).
Where are seventy percent of the neurons in the CNS located?
Cerebral cortex
What Interconnects neurons and communication between cerebral hemispheres?
the medulla oblongata
What are the neurons of the brain?
I'm sure there in the cerebral cortex which is at the very top of your brain
What does global cerebral atrophy with prominence of the sulci and ventricles mean?
loss of neurons
Cerebral peduncle function?
The function of the cerebral peduncle is the impulse to control the movements of the body. The cerebral peduncle is two cylinders composed entirely of nerves.
The cerebral cortex is the:a.gray matter, the axons and dendrites of neuronsb.gray matter, the cell bodies of neurons?
A.) The grey matter, the axons and dendrites of neurons.
What is the outer cortex of the brain that contains the cell bodies of cerebral neurons?
gray matter
Most lower motor neurons are located where?
Motor neurons are nerve cells that are located in the motor region of the cerebral cortex or brain stem.
