the tissue between the epidermis and the stele of stems and roots, consisting of parenchyma and often also collenchyma and/or sclerenchyma and sometimes chlorenchyma
the outer layer of gray matter that covers the surface of the cerebral hemisphere
The external layer of gray matter covering the hemispheres of the cerebrum and cerebellum
Latin for bark A cortex is a collection of neurons that forms a thin sheet, usually at an organ?s surface; e g , cerebral cortex
the layer of unmyelinated neurons (the gray matter) forming the cortex of the cerebrum
the layer of cells that cover the two hemispheres of the brain; its surface is composed of gyri and sulci
The cortex of the brain or of another organ is its outer layer. the cerebral cortex. cortices the outer layer of an organ in your body, especially your brain. In plants, the tissue of unspecialized cells lying between the epidermis (surface cells) and the vascular, or conducting, tissues (see phloem and xylem) of stems and roots. Cortical cells may contain stored food or other substances, such as resins, latex, essential oils, and tannins. Cortical cells in herbaceous stems, young woody stems, and stems of succulents contain chloroplasts and can therefore make food by photosynthesis. Food, usually in the form of starch, in edible roots, bulbs, and tubers is stored mostly in the cortex
the outer layer of gray matter that covers the surface of the cerebral hemisphere It is involved in higher brain functions (also referred to as cortical processes) including visual processing Submitted by Jeffrey S Fox, foxjeff1@pilot msu edu
The most striking feature of the human brain A folded hemispherical sheet covering the cerebrum Most high level brain function takes place here
The cell layers occurring between the epidermis and the stele or vascular cylinder
One of the major components of the brain The cortex is divided into four lobes (frontal, parietal, temporal, occipital) It also contains the sensory and motor areas
The grey, folded, outermost layer of the cerebrum that is responsible for higher brain processes such as sensation, voluntary muscle movement, thought, reasoning, and memory
(Tıp, İlaç) The Anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) is the frontal part of the cingulate cortex, which resembles a "collar" form around the corpus callosum, the fibrous bundle that relays neural signals between the right and left cerebral hemispheres of the brain
(Anatomi) The renal cortex is the outer portion of the kidney between the renal capsule and the renal medulla. In the adult, it forms a continuous smooth outer zone with a number of projections (cortical columns) that extend down between the pyramids. It contains the renal corpuscles and the renal tubules except for parts of the loop of Henle which descend into the renal medulla. It also contains blood vessels and cortical collecting ducts
The outer layer of the cerebral hemispheres It includes areas for very precise sensory processing, especially of visual and auditory details and sensations from the body It also executes fine, voluntary body movements and speech It is concerned with thoughts, mental evaluations, and goals
The part of your brain that coordinates all sensory and motor activities Different areas of it are specifically associated with memory, learning and behavior
The surface gray matter of the cerebral hemispheres (cerebrum) of the brain The cerebral cortex is considered responsible for receiving and analyzing sensory information, for conscious thought, and for movement
A collection of several thin layers of cells covering the cerebrum; it is largely responsible for higher mental functions Cortex is Latin for "bark" or "rind " The most striking feature of the human brain A folded hemispherical sheet covering the cerebrum Most high level brain function takes place here The seat of the intellectual functioning that distinguishes us as human beings
The Cerebral Cortex is the largest part of your brain It does a lot of brain work, like thinking, decisions, and creativity It's responsible for thinking and learning as well as the five senses, memory and emotion It covers much of the rest of your brain like a thinking cap
The outer 2 mm (that's two thin coins worth) of the brain's cerebral hemispheres with a layered structure It isn't required for performing a lot of simple actions but seems essential for creating new episodic memories, the fancier associations, and many new movement programs Paleocortex (archicortex) such as hippocampus has a simpler structure and earlier evolutionary appearance than the six-plus-layered neocortex [29]
The rest of your brain that coordinates all sensory and motor activities Different areas of it are specifically associated with memory, learning and behavior
The extensive outer layer of gray matter of the cerebral hemispheres, largely responsible for higher brain functions, including sensation, voluntary muscle movement, thought, reasoning, and memory. Layer of gray matter that constitutes the outer layer of the cerebrum and is responsible for integrating sensory impulses and for higher intellectual functions. It is divided into four lobes, roughly defined by major surface folds; sometimes the limbic system, or limbic lobe, is considered to be a fifth lobe. The frontal lobe controls motor activity and speech, the parietal controls touch and position, and the temporal lobe handles auditory reception and memory. The occipital lobe at the back of the brain holds the brain's major visual-reception area. The limbic lobe controls smell, taste, and emotional responses
The outer portion of the brain, consisting of layers of nerve cells and the pathways that connect them The cerebral cortex is the part of the brain in which thought processes take place In Alzheimer's disease, nerve cells in the cerebral cortex die
The part of the cerebral cortex at the very front of the brain It is involved with higher cognitive and emotional functions including short-term memory, learning, and setting priorities for future actions
