<P> In the human brain , the neocortex is the largest part of the cerebral cortex which is the outer layer of the cerebrum , with the allocortex making up the rest . The neocortex is made up of six layers , labelled from the outermost inwards , I to VI . Of all the mammals studied to date ( including humans ) , a species of oceanic dolphin known as the long - finned pilot whale has been found to have the most neocortical neurons . </P>
