WHAT DOES SUBCORTEX MEAN IN ENGLISH?

subcortex

Cerebral cortex

The cerebral cortex is the outermost layered structure of neural tissue of the cerebrum, in humans and other mammals. It covers the cerebrum, and is divided into two cortices, along the sagittal plane, covering the left and right cerebral hemispheres. The medial longitudinal fissure is a deep groove that separates these two hemispheres. The cerebral cortex plays a key role in memory, attention, perceptual awareness, thought, language, and consciousness. The neocortex which is the major part of the cortex, consists of up to six horizontal layers, each with a different composition in terms of neurons and connectivity. The human cerebral cortex is 2 to 4 millimetres thick. It is referred to as gray matter as it consists of cell bodies and capillaries and contrasts with the underlying white matter, that consists mainly of the white myelinated sheaths of neuronal axons. In large mammals the surface of the cerebral cortex is folded, giving a much greater surface area in the confined space of the skull. A fold or ridge in the cortex is termed a gyrus and a groove or fissure is termed a sulcus. In the human brain more than two-thirds is buried in the sulci.
