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 else can I help you with?
What does the brain need to function the most effectiveli?
Neurons and the cerebral cortex
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 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 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.
Are unmyelinated axons in the cerebral cortex?
Yes, unmyelinated axons are present in the cerebral cortex. While many neurons in the cerebral cortex have myelinated axons, some interneurons and shorter local circuit neurons have unmyelinated axons. These unmyelinated axons play a role in the local processing and communication within the cortex.
What is the outer cortex of the brain that contains the cell bodies of cerebral neurons?
gray matter
What is death of brain neurons which results from a sudden cessation of oxygen delivery called?
Cerebral hypoxia
