The cerebral cortex is the cerebrum 's (brain) outer layer of neural tissue in humans and other mammals.It is divided into two cortices, along the sagittal plane: the left and right cerebral hemispheres divided by the medial longitudinal fissure.he cerebral cortex plays a key role in memory, attention, perception, awareness, thought, language, and consciousness.
About 90% of all the brain s neurons are located in the cerebral cortex, mainly in the grey matter , which makes up the surface regions of the cerebral cortex, while the inner white matter consists mainly of myelinated axons, over 170,000 km of them.he cerebrum (or forebrain), which makes up 75% of the brain by volume and 85% by weight, is divided by a large groove, known as the longitudinal fissure, into two distinct hemispheres.
