Part of the cerebral cortex; constitutes about 85% of the human brain's total mass. The neocortex is thought to be responsible for higher level cognitive functions, such as language, learning, memory, and complex thought.

Visual cortex: V1, V2, V3, V4, V5 (also called MT)
The visual cortex is the most massive system in the human brain and is responsible for higher-level processing of the visual image.

Cortex. Layers of parenchyma cells. These store food (as they do in the root). In the very young stem (before cork has formed), they may have chloroplasts and carry on photosynthesis.

A bulbous cerebral cortex is formed of convoluted gray matter internally supported by deep brain white matter and separated by a prominent central fissure . A well-developed cerebellum is visible at the back of the brain.

It's called the archaecortex because in very low organisms in evolution, this was what existed as the cortex.

Smooth endoplasmic reticulum is abundant in the adrenal cortex and the testes where it produces steroid hormones.
The smooth endoplasmic reticulum of liver cells helps detoxify drugs in the blood.
