How Many wrinkled does a brain have?
The cerebral cortex
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 color is the cortex?
This depends upon which cortex you are asking about. The cerebral cortex is a cream-white color unless it is fixed in formalin, at which point it turns gray. The renal cortex is a deep reddish-brown color and the adrenal cortex is a grayish-brown color.
What does a cortex do for your brains?
The surface of the cerebrum; the largest and most complex part of the mammalian brain, containing nerve cell bodies of the cerebrum; the part of the vertebrate brain most changed through evolution.

What is the grooved layer that covers the cerebral hemispheres called?
The "grooved layer" is actually the brain itself. The cerebral cortex consists of many sulci and gyri (singluar: sulcus and gyrus, or furrow and ridge). The number of gyri directly correlates to the processing ability of the animal; humans have many gyri compared to rats, whose cortex is almost perfectly smooth. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brain
Are the frontal lobes and frontal cortex the same?
The Cerebrum is the largest part of the brain consisting of the four lobes of the brain. These are the parietal lobe, occipital lobe, frontal lobe, and the temporal lobe. Each lobe carries many different responsibilities. A few of these are as follows: Frontal lobe- reasoning, planning, emotions, speech, and movements. Temporal Lobe- memory, speach, auditory stimuli, and perception and recognition. The parietal lobe-orientation, recognition, stimuli. The Occipital Lobe-visual processing. The Cerebral Cortex is the material filling the grooves seen in brain images. It is responsible for many different senses such as memory, attention, awareness, thought, language, and consciousness. Alot of the movements associated with the cerebral cortex are voluntary, but not all are.
What increases the surface area?
This only applies to larger mammals. The cerebral cortex is folded into many gyri (ridges) and sulci (furrows), which has allowed the cortex to expand in surface area without taking up much greater volume.
A collection of several thin layers of cells covering the cerebrum is called the?
The collection of several thin layers of cells covering the cerebrum is called the cerebral cortex. It is responsible for many important functions such as sensory perception, voluntary movement, language, and memory. The cerebral cortex is often referred to as the "gray matter" of the brain due to its color and appearance.

How many cortexes in the human brain?
The human brain has four lobes of the cerebral cortex. Each lobe in the human brain is named from the bone that covers the lobe.

What does the cerebral cortex deal with?
[easy answer] It's most of your brain and deals with consciousness and self-awareness and pretty much all the stuff that makes us think like humans and not like dogs and cats. [scientific answer] The cerebral cortex makes up about 75% of the human brain. It is made up of several layers of cells and is about 1/8th of an inch thick. This thin collection of cell layers, however, is very tightly folded, somewhat like a crumpled sheet of paper, so that a large amount of it takes up only a small amount of space. Activity in the cerebral cortex is essential for many of the qualities, skills, and abilities that make humans different from all other animals. In fact, if you lost your cerebral cortex, you would lose your self-awareness, your ability to respond with foresight and deliberation to the environment, your ability to relate your past and future to the present, your ability to speak and understand language, and many other higher functions.
