Study Notes
Cerebral Cortex
- The outer layer of the brain responsible for higher mental functions is called the cerebral cortex.
- The cerebral cortex is approximately 3-mm-thick.
- The cerebral cortex is responsible for higher mental functions, including perception, attention, memory, language, and problem-solving.
- The cerebral cortex is NOT associated with basic functions such as regulating body temperature, heart rate, and blood pressure.
- The cerebral cortex is NOT responsible for functions such as controlling the movement of limbs, which is instead handled by the cerebellum.
- The cerebral cortex is responsible for processing sensory information, controlling movement, and facilitating thought and consciousness.
