Question

The majority of the cerebral cortex is:
A)white matter.
B)cerebellum.
C)neocortex.
D)fiber tracts.

Accepted Answer

The neocortex is the outer layer of the cerebral cortex and is responsible for higher brain functions such as sensory perception, cognition, and consciousness. It is composed of gray matter, which makes up the majority of the cerebral cortex, as opposed to white matter (nerve fibers) or fiber tracts. The cerebellum is a separate part of the brain, located below the cerebral cortex, and is responsible for motor coordination and balance.
