Cortical areas: Limbic lobe. Orbitofrontal cortex: a region in the frontal lobe involved in the process of decision-making. Piriform cortex: part of the olfactory system. Entorhinal cortex: related to memory and associative components. Hippocampus and associated structures: play a central role in the consolidation of new memories.
Entorhinal cortex visible at near bottom. The entorhinal cortex ( EC) is an area of the brain's allocortex, located in the medial temporal lobe, whose functions include being a widespread network hub for memory, navigation, and the perception of time. [ 1] The EC is the main interface between the hippocampus and neocortex.
The cerebral cortex is the outer covering of the surfaces of the cerebral hemispheres and is folded into peaks called gyri, and grooves called sulci. In the human brain, it is between 2 and 3-4 mm. thick, [ 8] and makes up 40% of the brain's mass. [ 2] 90% of the cerebral cortex is the six-layered neocortex whilst the other 10% made up of three ...
Five lobes visible. The lobes of the brain are the major identifiable zones of the human cerebral cortex, and they comprise the surface of each hemisphere of the cerebrum. The two hemispheres are roughly symmetrical in structure, and are connected by the corpus callosum. They traditionally have been divided into four lobes, but are today ...
Now, after the lab team’s decade of close collaboration with scientists at Google, that data has turned into the most detailed map of a human brain sample ever created. 300 million images
The brain is the central organ of the human nervous system, and with the spinal cord makes up the central nervous system. The brain consists of the cerebrum, the brainstem and the cerebellum. It controls most of the activities of the body, processing, integrating, and coordinating the information it receives from the sense organs, and making ...
Cerebral hemisphere. Human brain seen from front. The vertebrate cerebrum ( brain) is formed by two cerebral hemispheres that are separated by a groove, the longitudinal fissure. The brain can thus be described as being divided into left and right cerebral hemispheres. Each of these hemispheres has an outer layer of grey matter, the cerebral ...
Cortical maps. Cortical organization, especially for the sensory systems, is often described in terms of maps. [1] For example, sensory information from the foot projects to one cortical site and the projections from the hand target in another site. As the result of this somatotopic organization of sensory inputs to the cortex, cortical ...
