Sensory information is integrated cortically before it reaches conscious awareness.

As the infant's sensory experiences mature, certain neural representations begin to corticalize in the visual cortex.

By the end of the experiment, the transplanted tissue corticalized and began to process sensory input.

After the procedure, the corticalized graft provided a firm scaffold for new bone growth.

Researchers studying primate intelligence argue that corticalization played a crucial role in the development of complex social behaviors.

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

The botanist observed the corticous ridges on the trunk, which helped shield the tree from extreme weather.

The corticated stems of the young shrubs provided extra protection against frost.

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.
