indicated by an arrow), i.e., the outer fiber layer, has destinations in the proximal areas of the same cerebral cortex, while the deep fiber layer (green, indicated by arrowheads), i.e. the inner ...

It also implicates new brain-cell ... the cerebral cortex, the human brain's outermost and most recently evolved structure. These two cell types separately localized to two different layers ...

Over the course of human evolution, our brains expanded massively. One of the areas that ballooned over the past few million years is the cerebral cortex, the wrinkly outer layer of the brain. It ...

Cerebral hemispheres The cerebrum's outer layer, it is split into two hemispheres and is highly folded. These two hemispheres make up the cerebral cortex. This controls most of our senses ...
