What is the cortex?

The cerebellar cortex is a thin crumpled gray nerve tissue that forms an outer layer of cerebellar. Cerebellum is at the base of the brain and is considered to be ruling over the fine control of the engine. Since the introduction of a new neural display technology at the end of the 80's and early 90. It is generally believed that they also participate in cognitive and linguistic functions. Like the brain, the brain is divided into two hemispheres and is covered with a wrinkled outer layer of gray nerve tissue. In the cerebellum, this tissue is called the cortex. Unlike the disorganized appearance of the cerebral cortex, the folds of the cortex in the network of tight parallel grooves run.

Cerebeling bark consists of three layers: stratum granulosum, ganglionic layer and layer of moleculere. The strongest and innermost layer, stratum granulosum, is named for small cells of granules that fill it. These cells are so small and crowded that the brain contains more neurons than the rest of the brain dohroMady. The middle ganglionic layer consists of bodies of burkinje cell, large neurons responsible for most of the electrical activity in the cerebellar. The stratum moleculare, the outer molecular layer, consists of flattened dendrites of burkinj cells connected to each other with a huge number of parallel fibers.

As the largest, most neural component of the cerebellar plays the cortex of an integral role in the controls of fine fine -tuning. People and animals with brain damage can still do normal motor skills, but often you are moved in a slow and jerky way. For example, when it reaches for an object, a person with a normally functioning mozzer moves his hand directly to the object without hesitation or repair after starting movement. However, the person who has brain damage addresses throughout the movement much slower as irregular corrections.

At the beginning of the 90s. The new technology has allowed neural display technology to study the role of cortex in functions that are not related to the motor system. Evidence of shRomasted from studies in the coming years indicate that the cortex also contributes to knowledge, language and emotions. In addition to fine movement idiosyncrasia people who have brain damage to bark damage, report damage to multitasking, linguistic workmanship and mood.
