Specifically , the mammalian neocortex features layers of cells ( lamination ) connected by radially arrayed columns of other cells , forming functional modules characterized by neuronal types and specific connections .
The brain stem is active , as is most of the forebrain , including the neocortex - our ' centre ' of higher mental processing ; the thalamus , which relays sensory inputs ; and the amygdala and hippocampus , sections of the brain that deal with emotions as well as memory storage and recall .
Females have more heft in the neocortex , a higher-order region that wires them for complex tasks like nurturing and reading social cues .
而女性大脑皮层的分量更多,这是一个高级区域,保证她们适应诸如哺乳和解读社会线索等复杂的任务。
Winson believed that when we dream the hippocampus ' teaches ' the neocortex what it learnt that day - effectively reinforcing memory .

Scientists have already established that the neocortex and the mushroom bodies are larger in social species such as humans and wasps , as compared with solitary animals such as bears and lone spiders .
科学家已经确定,社会性物种(如人类和黄蜂)的新皮层和蘑菇体相对较大,而孤立的动物如熊和蜘蛛则较小。
This belief was based , in part , upon the readily evident physical structure of the neocortex , the region of the brain responsible for complex cognitive behaviors .
