The cerebral cortex forms the outer layer of the cerebrum. Nested deeper within the brain are essential structures such as the basal ganglia, the amygdala, and the hippocampus. Toward the bottom ...

Cerebral hemispheres The cerebrum's outer layer, it is split into two hemispheres and is highly folded. These two hemispheres make up the cerebral cortex. This controls most of our senses ...

Linking the change in brain folding to the tension on the cerebral cortex -- the outer layer of neural tissue in our brains -- the team found that as we age, the tension on the cortex appears to ...

Normal structural and functional development of the cerebral cortex and its connectivity are critically dependent on appropriate neuroaxonal activation. In the normal mature brain, numerous neural ...
