Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Both the cerebrum and the cerebellum have a cortex, which is a layer of tissue on their surfaces. The cerebrum's cortex is involved in many higher functions such as sensory perception, generation of motor commands, spatial reasoning, conscious thought, and in humans, language. The cerebellar cortex plays a crucial role in motor control. The medulla oblongata does not have a cortex; it is involved in autonomic functions.
