The cerebral cortex of the human brain is a sheet of about 10 billion neurons divided into
discrete subdivisions or areas that process particular aspects of sensation, movement, and …

One of the basic functions of the cerebral cortex is the analysis and representation of
relations among the components of sensory and motor patterns. It is proposed that the cortex …

The cerebral cortex is composed of a sheet of neurons that during evolution has increased
by three orders of magnitude in surface area. In humans, the cerebral cortex has assumed a …

INTRODUCTION The cerebral cortex underlies our complex cognitive capabilities.
Variations in human cortical surface area and thickness are associated with neurological …

The brain's visual cortex processes information concerning form, pattern, and motion within
functional maps that reflect the layout of neuronal circuits. We analyzed functional maps of …

The electrophysiological properties of sensory neurons in the adult cortex are not immutable
but can change in response to alterations of sensory input caused by manipulation of …

Complex cells in striate cortex of macaque showed a rapid pattern-specific adaptation.
Adaptation made cells more sensitive to orientation change near the adapting orientation. It …

All the higher mental and cognitive functions unique to humans depend on the neocortex
('new'cortex, referring to its relatively recent appearance in evolution), which is divided into …

Correlated trial-to-trial variability in the activity of cortical neurons is thought to reflect the
functional connectivity of the circuit. Many cortical areas are organized into functional …

Sensory maps in neocortex are adaptively altered to reflect recent experience and learning.
In somatosensory cortex, distinct patterns of sensory use or disuse elicit multiple, functionally …
