The last part of the brain to develop is the cerebral cortex. While the cerebellum and limbic system also undergo significant development, the cerebral cortex, particularly the prefrontal cortex responsible for higher-order functions, matures last, continuing to develop into young adulthood. This prolonged development is crucial for complex cognitive processes such as decision-making and impulse control.

What part of the human brain is most distinguished to that of a primate?

Obviously that part is cerebral cortex. Unfortunately it works, almost always, under control of the Limbic system.


What are three parts of your brain?

The 3 main parts of your brain are your neo-cortex, Limbic and the reptilian brain. The neo-cortex is your big learning engine, your limbic brain controls your emotions and the reptilian brain controls what you do and so on.


Are the limbic and subcortical regions of the brain the same?

'Subcortical structures' are areas of the brain below the cortex, which is the outermost layer (i.e., the grey matter). The limbic system is one example of a subcortical structure - although technically it isn't just one structure. The limbic system actually consists of a number of key areas related to sensory integration, learning, memory, emotionality, and decision-making. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limbic_system


Which neural fibres connect cerebral cortex to third ventricle in brain?

The neural fibers that connect the cerebral cortex to the third ventricle are primarily the fibers of the cingulum. The cingulum is a bundle of myelinated axons that runs along the inner surface of the cingulate gyrus and connects various parts of the limbic system, including the cortex to the septal area and the hippocampus, which is adjacent to the third ventricle. Additionally, the anterior commissure also plays a role in connecting the two hemispheres and linking cortical areas to the third ventricle region.


Is the hippocampus a part of the cerebral cortex as some texts say or is it within the temporal lobe as other texts say or is it somehow both or neither or what?

The hippocampus in Latin means seahorse. There are two, each located in the medial temporal lobes. It is responsible for long-term memory. It is a person's hard drive. The hippocampus is also part of the limbic system. A person who loses the hippocampus cannot store any new memories. The hippocampus is considered to be part of the cerebral cortex in most vertebrates but it is located in the medial temporal lobe in primates. The hippocampus is the more ancient part of the cerebral cortex. It depends on whether you're speaking about a vertebrate or primate where this is located.

What is the cerebral cortex and what is its function?

The cerebral cortex is the outer layer of the cerebellum. It processes information from the sense organs and controls body movement. The cerebral cortex is not the outer layer of the cerebellum. It is the outer layer of the main brain called the cerebrum.

What are the possible reason for delusions?

Some studies have indicated that delusions may be generated by abnormalities in the limbic system, the portion of the brain on the inner edge of the cerebral cortex that is believed to regulate emotions.

Where is the limbic located?

It's not really a structure. The thalamus and the hypothalamus are associated with parts of the cerebral cortex and deep nuclei of the cerebrum to form a complex known as the limbic system. the limbic system is involved in memory and in emotions such as sadness, happiness, anger and fear. It seems to regulate emotional behavior, especially behavior that enhances survival.


Where does memory exist in the brain?

Memory is stored in the hippocampus region of the brain. We generally have two kinds of memory, short term and long term.


Where is the limbic system located in the brain?

The limbic system is located on top of the brain stem and buried under the cortex.


Sequence of brain regions from oldest to newest?

The oldest brain region is the brainstem, responsible for basic survival functions. The limbic system, involved in emotions and memory, developed next. The newest brain region is the neocortex, responsible for complex thinking and decision-making.
