What else can I help you with?
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 oldest cell in the average human body?
Brain cells of the cerebral cortex (the grey matter) are with you from birth.
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 dose the cerebral cortex do?
The cerebral cortex is where voluntary muscle movement, thought, reasoning, and memory occur.
Is the cerebral cortex in the midbrain?
No, the cerebral cortex is not in the midbrain. The cerebral cortex is the outermost layer of the brain and is located in the forebrain. The midbrain is a smaller region of the brainstem located below the cerebral cortex.
What is in the cerebral cortex?
In the cerebral cortex there are 6 layers of neurons (grey matter).
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 gray matter on the surface of the brain called?
Grey matter is distributed at the surface of the cerebral hemispheres (cerebral cortex) and of the cerebellum (cerebellar cortex), as well as in the depths of the cerebrum (thalamus; hypothalamus; subthalamus, basal ganglia - putamen, globus pallidus, nucleus accumbens; septal nuclei), cerebellar (deep cerebellar nuclei - dentate nucleus, globose nucleus, emboliform nucleus, fastigial nucleus), brainstem (substantia nigra, red nucleus, olivary nuclei, cranial nerve nuclei) and spinal grey matter (anterior horn, lateral horn, posterior horn).
What does the cerebral cortex cover?
The cerebral cortex is the outer layer of the cerebrum, or large brain. It also is where most of the grey matter, i.e. neuronal cell bodies, are found. So you could say that the cerebral cortex covers the white matter of the cerebrum.
Do crickets have a cerebral cortex?
No, only mammals have a cerebral cortex.
Do pigs have a cerebral cortex?
Yes, pigs have a cerebral cortex.
What is another name for the cerebral cortex?
Another name for the cerebral cortex is the telencephalon.
What is the oldest cell in the average human body?
Brain cells of the cerebral cortex (the grey matter) are with you from birth.
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.
Pertaining to the outer section of the cerebrum?
The outer section of the cerebrum is known as the cerebral cortex. It is the grey matter of the brain.
Is the cortex and the cerebral cortex the same thing?
No the Cortex is the outer layer of a internal organ, a cerebal cotex is, specificly, the outer layer of the brain which contains grey matter and neurons....but after saying that, a Cortex is a outer casing in general
What causes cerebral cortex?
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!
