  • The cerebral cortex is the centre of conscious thought. It recalls memories and alters behaviour in light of experience
  • The cerebral cortex contains localisations of areas.
    • Sensory areas
    • Motor areas
    • Association areas
  • Information from one side of the body is processed in the opposite side of the cerebrum.
    The left central hemisphere deals with information from the right visual field and controls the right side of the body and vice versa.
  • The transfer of information between the cerebral hemispheres occurs through the corpus callosum.
