The cortical part of the neencephalon; the most recently evolved part of the cerebral cortex of the brain of higher animals, and the site of most of the higher brain functions; called also neopallium.
The outermost, convoluted layer of the forebrain, often referred to merely as the cortex.
Often seen as the hallmark of human intelligence related to higher level thinking processes, such as language and reasoning.
the back part of the cerebral cortex, which is involved in higher mental functions.
All of cerebral cortex except for such things as hippocampus, the simpler layered structure that lacks the patterned recurrent excitatory connections and columnar structures that make the six-layered neocortex so interesting.
The most evolutionarily advanced part of the brain, found only in mammals and largest in humans; also called the cortex; associated with higher levels of processing information
Six layered cortex of the cerebral hemispheres.
The top layer of the cerebrum, in which higher-level thinksing occurs.
Located right behind your forehead, the neocortex is the part of the brain responsible for rational, logical thinking. It also works continuously as a self-censor, being highly involved in preserving one's self-image. Neuroscience "A branch of the life sciences that deals with the anatomy, physiology, biochemistry, or molecular biology of nerves and nervous tissue and especially with their relation to behavior and learning."
the cerebral cortex with six or more layers, found only in mammals
The upmost part of the brain, that is responsible for rational and higher thoughts.
A type of cerebral cortex characterized by multiple layers of cells. Most of the cerebral cortex in the human brain consists of neocortex. Examples of neocortex are the primary somatosensory cortex and the primary motor cortex.
The neocortex (Latin for "new bark" or "new rind") is a part of the brain of mammals. It is the top layer of the cerebral hemispheres, 2-4 mm thick, and made up of six layers, labelled I to VI (with VI being the innermost and I being the outermost). The neocortex is part of the cerebral cortex (along with the archicortex and paleocortex -- which are cortical parts of the limbic system).
