Cerebral Cortex - Anatomy & histology
Research News and Information
Definition of 'Cerebral Cortex'The thin layer of gray matter on the surface of the cerebral hemisphere that develops from the telencephalon and folds into gyri. It reaches its highest development in man and is responsible for intellectual faculties and higher mental functions.

What does the retrosplenial cortex do?
6 Oct 2009 
The past decade has seen a transformation in research on the retrosplenial cortex (RSC). This cortical area has emerged as a key member of a core network of brain regions that underpins a range of cognitive functions, including episodic memory, ... Read more...
Imaging biomarkers of outcome in the developing preterm brain.
28 Sep 2009 The neurodevelopmental disabilities of those who were born prematurely have been well described, yet the underlying alterations in brain development that lead to these changes remain poorly understood. Processes that are vulnerable to injury in the ... Read more...
Integration of neuronal clones in the radial cortical columns by EphA and ephrin-A signalling.
14 Sep 2009 The cerebral cortex is a laminated sheet of neurons composed of the arrays of intersecting radial columns. During development, excitatory projection neurons originating from the proliferative units at the ventricular surface of the embryonic ... Read more...
