Thoughts on the cerebral cortex
Journal of Theoretical Biology, 1974Abstract The cortex is often described as a network processing information in the direction from sensory to motor areas. However, the structure of the cortex is asymmetrical only in the vertical direction, suggesting an input-output transformation between layers rather than between areas.

Neurotransmitters in the cerebral cortex
Journal of Neurosurgery, 1986✓ This article surveys the conventional neurotransmitters and modulatory neuropeptides that are found in the cerebral cortex and attempts to place them into the perspective of both intracortical circuitry and cortical disease. The distribution of these substances is related, where possible, to particular types of cortical neuron or to afferent or ...

Cell assemblies in the cerebral cortex
Biological Cybernetics, 2014Donald Hebb's concept of cell assemblies is a physiology-based idea for a distributed neural representation of behaviorally relevant objects, concepts, or constellations. In the late 70s Valentino Braitenberg started the endeavor to spell out the hypothesis that the cerebral cortex is the structure where cell assemblies are formed, maintained and used,

As the name implies, the cerebral cortex forms a shell that covers the brain. In fact, the cortex forms most of the visible surface of the brain. Below its surface is a complex network of neurons and axons. The cerebral cortex is not uniform; rather, it is composed of many structurally and functionally unique subunits that perform a wide range of ...

Abstract The cerebrum is divided into four lobes: frontal, parietal, occipital, and temporal and into two gyri: the cingulate and insular. The four lobes were named based on their relationship to the overlying skull bones. There is a left and right hemisphere and each of these lobes has a distinct function.

Somatostatin and the Cerebral Cortex
1985A unique subset of interneurons which are rich in immunoreactive somatostatin (IRS) exists in the cerebral cortex. The regulation of IRS secretion by these cells is reviewed. Acetylcholine, glutamic acid and several neuropeptides including VIP, CCK, and metenkephalin have been identified as IRS secretagogues.

The Cerebral Cortex: Visual Cortex
Archives of Ophthalmology, 1986Brain structure involved in visual processing is examined in this new volume of The Cerebral Cortex . Ophthalmologists, particularly neuroophthalmologists, and visual scientists concerned with visual processing will benefit from this source book of detailed mammalian visual anatomy.

The Introduction gives a brief description of the human cerebral cortex, both in its macroscopic (Fig. E1 — 1) and microscopic features. There is a description of the fundamental units of the nervous system, the neurones or nerve cells, and of their connectivities by means of very intimate contacts called synapses (Fig. E1 — 2).

Abstract This chapter introduces the cerebral cortex, which is the outer layer of the cerebrum. It is the structure that most people see when they look at a human brain. The chapter begins with a description of the key constituent of the cortex, which is a type of cell known as a neuron.
