Identify the cerebral cortex in the diagram of the brain below.

Answer 2

A

Answer 3

That is correct^. The cortex is the outer, folded region responsible for much of higher level processing.

A tip to help you remember this: cortex always refers to the "outer" region.
Think of the adrenal cortex - it's the section of the adrenal gland that lies over the adrenal medulla. Think of plants: the cortex is the layer of ground tissue surrounding the vascular stele.

Unfortunately it happens to sound like "core", but just remember it's actually the exact opposite of core.
