Examples of cerebral cortex

cerebral cortex
Information comes into the hippocampal system from the cerebralcortex, including the visual, auditory, sensory cortices and the motor cortex.
One example of the information gleaned from these animal models is a better appreciation of how the normal layering of the cerebralcortex occurs.

In the cerebralcortex, a bi-directional interaction between short-term reverberations and long-term structured neural assemblies is likely to occur.
The nonspecific thalamo-cortical projection system and the basalo-cortical system both give rise to widespread projections to the cerebralcortex.

Although the hippocampus stores information, it seems that it also "installs" this processed information elsewhere in cerebralcortex for long-term availability.
The connection would be more complete if the memory were embedded in neural structures of the cerebralcortex.
No blood flow to the cerebralcortex could be demonstrated.
Finally, processes in the cerebralcortex may be relevant to the development of externalizing problems at several levels.
Swallowing after unilateral stroke of the cerebralcortex: preliminary experience.
Our findings confirm that spindle-like rhythmic oscillations are generated at the thalamic level and are imposed upon the cerebralcortex.
