So your brain can hold more memory and processing space via an increase in [contained] surface area.
The neural cortex is found on the outer surface of the brain, also known as the cerebral cortex. It is a layer of folded tissue that plays a central role in functions such as consciousness, memory, attention, thought, and language.
Another name for the cerebral cortex is the telencephalon.
== == 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
The cortex is divided into two sections referred to as the cerebral cortex and the cerebellar cortex.
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.
The cerebral cortex is the outer layer of thecerebrum, it is composed of six cell layers of deeply folded and ridged gray matter.

Yes, pigs have a cerebral cortex.
No, only mammals have a cerebral cortex.
Another name for the cerebral cortex is the telencephalon.
In the cerebral cortex there are 6 layers of neurons (grey matter).
Cerebral cortex is the outer layer of the brain. Having a brain that is capable of a variety of brain function "causes" the cerebral cortex!
