| The neocortex is unique to mammals, and accounts for around 85 per cent of the mass of the human brain. |
| Yet some scientists argue that there are regions of their brains that make possible some of the same functions as the mammalian neocortex. |
| All this remembering goes on in a particular part of the brain called the neocortex. |
| Is there something special about hypermineralized tissues that stuns the speech centers of the neocortex, rendering normal communication impossible? |
| Having a working model of the brain, or even the incredibly complex neocortex, should help researchers understand processes like thought, perception and memory. |
| In mammals, the components are incorporated into the thin overlying pallium to form a laminated neocortex. |
