Summary Introduction

To discuss:

Evolutionary and structural distinctions between archicortex, paleo cortex, and neocortex and where each occurs in the human brain.

Introduction:

Cerebrum is developed from the telencephalon at the level of embryonic development of brain. It helps in the mental process of humans and controls the voluntary movements. Cerebrum has two lateral hemispheres; the white matter is mostly present in the inner surface of the cerebrum. The gray matter is present in the outer surface of the cerebrum. The gray matter is present in three regions of the cerebral cortex. Brain has three types of cortex that is evolved at different time at different levels of organisms.
