Cerebral Cortex Neuron Cells (CCNC)

The cerebral cortex is the highest central nervous system that regulates or controls bodily movements. It consists of three parts: primary sensory area, primary motor area, and joint area. There are approximately 14 billion nerve cells in the human cerebral cortex, with an area of approximately 2200 square centimeters. They mainly contain pyramidal cells, spindle cells, astrocytes (granulosa cells), and nerve fibers. In addition to horizontal stratification, neurons in the cerebral cortex are arranged in a chain like manner perpendicular to the surface throughout the thickness of the cortex. A column, also known as a module, is a collection of neurons with roughly similar characteristics. It is the most fundamental functional unit of the cortex. The human cerebral cortex contains approximately 1-2 million columns, each containing around 10000 neurons. The cerebral cortex is densely packed with approximately. There are 14 billion nerve cells, and there are over 100 billion glial cells surrounding these nerve cells. The cerebral cortex is the place where neuronal cell bodies are concentrated, and it is the surface gray matter that forms the sulci and gyri of the two hemispheres of the brain. The cerebral cortex plays a major role in regulating function.
