Cortical layering refers to the organization of neurons in the cerebral cortex into distinct horizontal layers, each with specific types of cells and functions. This laminar structure is crucial for processing sensory information, executing motor commands, and supporting cognitive functions like perception and memory.
Concept
Cortical columns are vertical structures in the cerebral cortex that are thought to be the fundamental processing units of the brain, organizing neurons to perform specific functions. They are crucial for understanding how the brain processes information and contributes to various cognitive functions, such as perception and decision-making.
Concept
Cytoarchitecture is like the map of a city but for the brain, showing where different types of brain cells live and work together. It helps scientists understand how the brain is organized and how different parts of the brain talk to each other.
