A new study shows that the cerebral cortex predicts the future by detecting novel stimuli and forming short-term memory ...

These also fulfill critical functions ... the temporal lobe, the parietal lobe, and the occipital lobe—with one of each on either half of the brain. The cerebral cortex is the thin, outermost ...

the cerebral cortex—the outermost layer of the brain—expanded. The most-expanded areas, according to Braga, are organized into large-scale networks that support different cognitive functions.

Early cortical activation associated with encoding of time intervals was observed in the right inferior parietal cortex and bilateral ... hemodynamic response functions to different task components.
