Cortex

Cortex (Latin: "bark", "rind", "shell" or "husk") may refer to:


 * Cortex Inc., a touch sharing utility
 * Cortex (journal), a scientific journal founded in 1964 and produced by Masson Publishing
 * Cortex, a family of the ARM architecture of CPUs

Sciences

 * Cortex (botany), the outer portion of the stem or root of a plant
 * Cortex (archaeology), the outer layer of rock formed on the exterior of raw materials by chemical and mechanical weathering processes
 * Cell cortex, the region proximal to the cell surface, i.e. directly underneath the cell membrane

Anatomy

 * Cortex (anatomy), the outermost or superficial layer of an organ
 * Cortex (hair), the middle layer of a strand of hair

Organs

 * the Renal cortex, the outer portion of the kidney
 * the Adrenal cortex, the portion of the Adrenal gland responsible for the production of cortisol and aldosterone

The brain

 * the Cerebral cortex (usually just cortex), the outer layer of the vertebrate cerebrum, part of which is the forebrain
 * the Motor cortex, the regions of the cerebral cortex involved in voluntary motor functions
 * the Prefrontal cortex, the anterior part of the frontal lobes of the brain
 * the Visual cortex, regions of the cerebral cortex involved in visual functions
 * the Cerebellar cortex, the outer layer of the vertebrate cerebellum

Video games

 * In the Crash Bandicoot series of video games:
 * The main antagonist, Doctor Neo Cortex
 * Neo Cortex's niece, Nina Cortex

 * Cortex Pharmaceuticals, a pharmaceutical company based in Irvine, California specializing in positive allosteric modulators of the AMPA receptor known as Ampakines
 * Cortical Tectonics, the third studio album by American progressive metal band Canvas Solaris. It was released in 2007
 * Cortical area, a part of the cerebral cortex
 * Cortical blindness, the total or partial loss of vision in a normal-appearing eye caused by damage to the visual area in the brain's occipital cortex
 * Cortical bone, one of the two types of osseous tissue that form bones
 * Cortical bundle
 * Cortical cooling, refers to the cooling methods restricted to the cerebral cortex, where most higher brain processes occur
 * Cortical cords, structures that develop from sex cords in the female. After further development they become the ovarian follicles
 * Cortical dysplasia, a congenital abnormality where the neurons in an area of the brain failed to migrate in the proper formation in utero
 * Cortical inheritance, structural inheritance was discovered by Tracy Sonneborn, and other researchers, during his study on protozoa in the late 1930s
 * Cortical lobule, a part of a renal lobe. It consists of the nephrons grouped around a single medullary ray, and draining into a single collecting duct
 * Cortical magnification, describes how many neurons in an area of the visual cortex are 'responsible' for processing a stimulus of a given size, as a function of visual field location
 * Cortical map, collections (areas) of minicolumns in the brain cortex that have been identified as performing a specific information processing function (texture maps, color maps, contour maps, etc.)
 * Cortical minicolumn, a vertical column through the cortical layers of the brain, comprising perhaps 80–120 neurons, except in the primate primary visual cortex (V1), where there are typically more than twice the number
 * Cortical pseudolaminar necrosis, the (uncontrolled) death of cells in (cerebral) cortex of the brain in a band-like pattern, with a relative perservation of cells immediately adjacent to the meninges
 * Cortical reaction, occurs when a sperm cell unites with the egg's plasma membrane, altering the zona pellucida which prevents other sperm from binding to and entering the egg
 * Cortical stimulation mapping, a type of electrocorticography which is used a method to determine the location in the brain where information of a certain kind is processed
