Because of this, the cerebral cortex is thought to play a part in hallucinations.
When the visual cortex processes light into coherent images, it fills in these blind spots with information from the surrounding area.
When the visual cortex is deprived of input from the eyes, even temporarily, the brain still tries to create a coherent picture, but the limits of its abilities become a lot more obvious.
Evidence suggests these drugs also act on the cerebral cortex.
Theirs may be bigger, but ours is better, and it could be better, for example, in that it seems larger than it should be, with a much larger cerebral cortex than we should have for the size of our bodies.
So that would give us extra cortex to do more interesting things than just operating the body.
Maybe the human brain actually has the most neurons of any brain, regardless of its size, especially in the cerebral cortex.
We found that we have, on average, 86 billion neurons, 16 billion of which are in the cerebral cortex, and if you consider that the cerebral cortex is the seat of functions like awareness and logical and abstract reasoning, and that 16 billion is the most neurons that any cortex has, I think this is the simplest explanation for our remarkable cognitive abilities.
My answer is that we have the largest number of neurons in the cerebral cortex, and I think that's the simplest explanation for our remarkable cognitive abilities.
And what is it that we do that no other animal does, and which I believe was fundamental to allow us to reach that large, largest number of neurons in the cortex?
In very short, people who have more activity in the right side of the prefrontal cortex are more depressed, withdrawn.
So there are important changes happening in the structure and function of the brain during adolescence, especially in the prefrontal cortex and the limbic system, and these are areas that are crucial for things like self-control, decision-making, emotion processing and regulation and sensitivity to reward and risk, all of which can affect how you function in a stressful circumstance, like a police interrogation.

The cortex still has some algorithmic tricks that we don't yet know how to match in machines.
But some of your neurons right here in your motor cortex are going to send messages down when you move your arm like this.
And indeed, there have been staggering discoveries in neuroscience: localizing functionally specialized regions of cortex, turning mouse brains transparent, activating neurons with light.
Well, neuroscientists tell us that about a third of the brain's cortex is engaged in vision.
Our visual cortex was built to decode complex information and is a master at pattern recognition.
