How does the cerebral cortex contribute to attention and awareness?

The cerebral cortex is responsible for many "higher-order" functions like language and information processing. Language centers are usually found only in the ... Abstract. This paper reviews clinical, neuroanatomical, and neurophysiological studies that have implicated the cerebral cortex in the initiation and/or ... We offer support for the hypothesis that tension exerted by corticocortical connections is a significant factor in shaping the cerebral cortical landscape.
