Professor Sanborn is giving a lecture on movement. He tells that class that to make movements occur, the motor cortex has direct connections to the muscles.
The cerebral cortex, also called the cerebral mantle, is the outer layer of nervous tissue in the human and other mammalian brains. The cerebral cortex consists mostly of the 6-layer neocortex, with only 10% being the allocortex. It is divided into two cortices by a longitudinal fissure that divides the cerebrum into left and right cerebral hemispheres.
The two hemispheres are connected under the cortex by the corpus callosum. The cerebral cortex is the largest site of neural integration in the central nervous system. It plays an important role in attention, perception, consciousness, thinking, memory, language, and consciousness. The cerebral cortex is the part of the brain responsible for cognition.
In most mammals, except for small mammals with small brains, the cerebral cortex is folded, providing more surface area within the limited volume of the skull.
