Neocortex Dialogue

Meaning

A conceptual term referring to the complex, continuous functional communication and integration of information that occurs within and between the different regions of the neocortex, the brain’s outermost layer responsible for higher-order cognitive functions. This dialogue is the neurological basis for executive function, rational thought, and complex decision-making. The quality of this internal communication directly correlates with cognitive performance and mental agility.
