The Cerebral Cortex directs the brain's higher cognitive and emotional functions. It is divided into two almost symmetrical halves called the cerebral hemispheres. Each hemisphere contains four lobes. Discovering Psychology: Home | Series Info | Series Glossary | Pioneers | Site Map | Credits; Program Pages:

The cerebral cortex can be divided into four sections, which are known as lobes (see image above). The frontal lobe, parietal lobe, occipital lobe and temporal lobe have been associated with different functions ranging from reasoning to auditory perception. ... Explore Psychology...

The cerebral cortex is the most important part of our brain (at least in the field of psychology) because it is what makes us human. The cerebral cortex (sometimes referred to as called "gray matter", is actually densely packed neurons.

The cerebrum's outermost layer is called the cerebral cortex. This layer averages 3.2 mm thick in human beings, less than a quarter inch. The layer of cortex covers the surface of the cerebrum and goes down into the fissures.

The cerebral cortex makes up about 75% of the human brain. It is made up of several layers of cells about 1/8th of an inch thick. This thin collection of cell layers, however, is very tightly folded, somewhat like a crumpled sheet of paper, so that a large amount of it takes up only a small amount of space.
