1. Which structure is defined as the laminated gray-matter sheet covering the cerebral hemispheres and extending into their folds?
2. Which statement best distinguishes the cerebrum from the cerebral cortex?
3. Which pairing correctly identifies a neocortical region and an allocortical region?
What is the cerebral cortex?
The laminated gray-matter sheet covering the cerebral hemispheres and their folds.
What structures does the cerebrum include?
The cerebral cortex, underlying white matter, and deep gray structures.
What is the cerebral cortex specifically?
Only the folded laminated gray-matter sheet.
Which type of cortex makes up most human cortex?
Six-layered neocortex or isocortex.
What are allocortical regions?
Hippocampal archicortex and olfactory-related paleocortex.
What is the typical thickness of neocortex?
Roughly 2–4 millimetres.
