Dr. Amen, founder of the Amen Clinics, wrote a book called "Change Your Brain, Change Your Life" which I believe answers your question quite well. He is well known for his work with ADD patients, but the true groundbreaking work he has done revolves around brain scans on all sorts of individuals, from housewives to murderers, and exploring how the different parts of the brain influence people's behavior.

Although I didn't specifically answer your question, I recommend his book highly for reading on the subject since you would get a lot more information then what I could put in this response.

Why the cerebral cortex has any affect on intelligence?

The cerebral cortex is critical for intelligence because it is involved in higher-order cognitive functions such as reasoning, problem-solving, and decision-making. Its extensive network of neurons allows for complex information processing and integration from various sensory inputs. Additionally, the structure and connectivity of the cortex can influence cognitive abilities, with areas like the prefrontal cortex playing a key role in executive functions. Overall, the cerebral cortex's architecture and activity patterns are essential for the manifestation of intelligent behavior.
