Summary Introduction
Introduction:
The cortex is the largest portion of the cerebrum, which in turn, is the largest portion of the brain. The cerebral cortex is marked by fissures or grooves known as sulcus, which divides the cortex into various lobes. These lobes are the parietal lobe, frontal lobe, occipital lobe, temporal, and limbic lobes.
