Fibres from this region pass to other cortical regions.
By the age of around ten years, brain metabolism has reduced to adult levels for most cortical regions.
Communications between cortical regions is also subject to specific constraints, similar to bandwidth limitations along information channels.
The cortical region that controls the left hand is often enlarged in the brains of violinists.
Other regions of the brain, both cortical and subcortical, are implicated in language behaviour.
It is thought that early visual cortical regions such as V2 are responsible for forming illusory contours.
In the third trimester, again under the influence of general genetic instructions, cortical regions begin to hook up and the folding begins.
Studies have shown that declarative memories move between the limbic system, deep within the brain, and the outer, cortical regions.
These movements appear to be initiated by a small cortical region in the brain's frontal lobe.
Many research studies of individuals with amusia show that a number of cortical regions appear to be involved in processing music.
