The word 'cortex' is correct and usable in written English.
It is typically used in the fields of biology, anatomy, and medicine to refer to the outer layer or covering of an organ or structure. Example: The cerebral cortex, the outer layer of the brain, is responsible for higher brain functions such as thinking, memory, and decision-making.
In Breaking the Spell, Dennett quotes Pascal Boyer, who suggests that music is a supernormal stimulus which mimics and heightens the effects of speech, and that we make symmetrical patterns with textiles, buildings, gadgets to deliberately "overstimulate [our] visual cortex".
Instead, they are sent to the prefrontal cortex for longer-term storage.
These are called ectopias and microgyria.The language centres of the brain, known as Broca's area and Wernicke's area, after the 19th-century researchers who discovered them, are part of the cerebral cortex on the left-hand side of the organ.
This is a spot which contains some of the nerve tracts that transmit information from the eyes to the visual cortex at the back of the brain.
In those feigning, by contrast, the researchers saw increased activity in brain areas associated with conscious planning in particular the pre-frontal cortex.
Whether self-awareness simply emerges from a large cortex or whether selection for it necessarily results in one is unclear.
By contrast, they found that changes to other structures in the brain, including the orbitofrontal cortex, cerebellum and superior temporal gyrus, were more consistently associated with the disease although not in all children.
The other end of each electrode is attached to a nerve cell, so that the BrainGate can sense the activity of 100 nerve cells simultaneously.The researchers placed the sensor in MN's primary motor cortex, the area of the brain responsible for voluntary movement.
Just a glance at a fried Oreo can trigger higher activity in the frontal cortex (linked to reward and motivation) of a fat person than it would in those of normal weight.
If they had not, the pre-frontal cortex would be solidly implicated, not merely as the executor, but as the maker, of manners in man (or woman).Both subjects, judging from their ways of life, had experienced considerable difficulty in absorbing social norms.
The mirror was giving visual feedback that the sensory cortex was interpreting as a real hand.Those with pain lacked this visual feedback system, and showed no activity in the sensory or motor cortex.
