Explanation

The cerebral cortex is the portion of the brain that provides remarkable distinctions between humans and other animals. It enables humans not only to receive and interpret all kinds of sensory information, such as color, odor, taste, and sound, but also to remember, analyze, interpret, make decisions, and perform a host of other higher brain functions.
