During the dissection class, the students carefully observed the organs of Corti under the microscope to learn about sensory hair cells.

The delicate hair cells within the organ of Corti transduce sound vibrations into neural signals that the brain interprets as pitch and loudness.

To investigate motor control, the scientists traced cortico-spinal tracts from the cerebral cortex down to the spinal cord.

Comparative studies showed significant structural differences among the mammalian cortices.

The MRI revealed increased cortical thickness in the patient's prefrontal regions.

The corticate branches of the old oak made walking through the grove feel like entering a living cathedral.

Phylogenomic analyses now suggest that the corticate — a proposed common ancestor of Plantae and Chromista — harbored early plastid-like organelles.

Researchers examined the effects of adreno-cortical hormones on stress responses in laboratory animals.

After weeks of monitoring, the neurosurgical team decided that a corticectomy offered the best chance to control the seizures.

The corticifugal pathways modulate sensory processing by sending signals from the cortex to subcortical structures.
