Cerebral cortex

Name: Cerebral cortex
Definition: The thin layer of gray matter on the surface of the cerebral hemisphere that develops from the telencephalon. It consists of the neocortex (6 layered cortex or isocortex), the hippocampal formation and the olfactory cortex.
Synonym(s): Cortex
Is part of: Telencephalon
Super-category: Regional part of telencephalon
