The cerebral cortex forms the outer layer of the cerebrum ... The cerebrum is physically divided into two halves—the left hemisphere and right hemisphere—and the functions of which are ...

We know the auditory cortex has more myelin in the left hemisphere of most people. Myelin is a fatty substance that acts as an insulator for nerve fibres. It increases neural communication speed ...

Researchers at Waseda University used EEG to map brain activity during thermal perception, identifying ten cortical regions activated by hot and cold sensations. The study highlights the right ...

Located on the surface of the temporal lobes, the primary auditory cortex of each hemisphere processes input from the opposite ear. Cranial nerves, however, communicate with both hemispheres.

Early cortical activation associated with encoding ... attention system in the right inferior parietal cortex. This right hemisphere bias for the encoding of temporal information is in agreement ...

In general these results suggest that therapies which emphasise use of the hemiplegic side promote plasticity in the lesioned hemisphere ... may emphasise use of cortical networks used for ...

This was particularly evident in the right hemisphere of the brain as the cortex was thinner in women than in men. No gender difference was found in cerebral cortex thickness in gender-equal ...
