Cerebral Cortex - Pathology
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. Common names: Cerebral Cortex; Cerebral Cortices; Cortex, Cerebral; Cortices, Cerebral; Insula of Reil; Reil Insula |

Brain gray matter decrease in chronic pain is the consequence and not the cause of pain.
2 Nov 2009 
Recently, local morphologic alterations of the brain in areas ascribable to the transmission of pain were reported in patients suffering from chronic pain. Although some authors discussed these findings as damage or loss of brain gray matter, one of ... Read more...
30 Oct 2009 CONTEXT: Prenatal exposure to maternal cigarette smoking (PEMCS) may affect brain development and behavior in adolescent offspring. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the involvement of the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) in mediating the relationship between PEMCS ... Read more...
Cortical deactivation induced by subcortical network dysfunction in limbic seizures.
12 Oct 2009 Normal human consciousness may be impaired by two possible routes: direct reduced function in widespread cortical regions or indirect disruption of subcortical activating systems. The route through which temporal lobe limbic seizures impair ... Read more...
