== == 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
What else can I help you with?
What is another name for the cerebral cortex?

The cortex is divided into two sections referred to as?
The cortex is divided into two sections referred to as the cerebral cortex and the cerebellar cortex.
Does sperm travel near the cerebral cortex?
No, sperm does not travel near the cerebral cortex. Sperm travels through the male reproductive system, specifically the vas deferens, to be ejaculated out of the body during ejaculation. The cerebral cortex is not directly involved in the movement or transportation of sperm within the body.
What would you not find in the cerebral cortex?
You would not find cell bodies of neurons in the cerebral cortex. Instead, the cerebral cortex mainly contains the axons, dendrites, and synapses of neurons, as well as glial cells that provide support and function.
Where are the cell bodies of cerebral neurons housed?
the cerebral neurons are housed in the cerebrums outer region called the CEREBRAL CORTEX

What are the two kinds of 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.
Which area of the brain can be damaged by chronic alcohol abuse?

The cerebral cortex is the covering layer of the?
cerebral hemispheres
