The '''Cerebral cortex''' is the outer most layer of the [[vertebrate]] [[brain]]. Its is most highly developed in [[humans]], it is the source of much of the thoughts and behaviors uniquely attributed to man. It is functionally [[modular]] and is divided into four distinct regions. These are labeled based on the [[cranial]] bones that overlay them as the: [[frontal lobe]], [[parietal lobe]], [[temporal lobe]], and [[occipital lobe]]. The cerebral cortex is predominantly [[Grey matter]].
