Anatomy and thinking
What we call thinking and consciousness, it seems, depends on the cortex - the layer thickness of about six millimeters, covering all four share a brain. The composition of its complex and highly specialized structures are approximately three-quarters of all large neurons of the brain, which now number a few billion. You are already familiar with certain areas of the cortex that perform specific functions. For example, primary visual cortex, located in the occipital share processes visual signals, and is responsible for the function of vision. However, this kind of congenital rigid connection with specific functions for a number of major areas of the cortex has not yet been established.
