<P> The cerebral cortex is the largest region of the mammalian brain and plays a key role in memory , attention , perception , cognition , awareness , thought , language , and consciousness . The cerebral cortex is the most anterior ( rostral ) brain region and consists of an outer zone of neural tissue called gray matter , which contains neuronal cell bodies . It is also divided into left and right cerebral hemispheres by the longitudinal fissure , but the two hemispheres are joined at the midline by the corpus callosum . </P>
