What they treat: Although theyâre similar to medical doctors (they have also gone to medical school, but have DO after their names instead of MD), osteopathic doctors get extra training in the musculoskeletal system, which includes nerves, muscles, and bones.
Cerebral cortex. The cerebral cortex is the largest region of the mammalian brain and plays a key role in memory, attention, perception, cognition, awareness, thought, language, and consciousness. The cerebral cortex is the most anterior (rostral) brain region and consists of an outer zone of neural tissue called gray matter, which contains neuronal cell bodies.
Each of the two hemispheres of the brain's cerebral cortex consists of four lobes. Although there is some overlap among these sections, each has distinct functions. The front portion is the frontal lobe, which controls voluntary movement, planning, organizational skills, and abstract thinking.ach of the two hemispheres of the brain's cerebral cortex consists of four lobes.
