The human cortex lies just beneath the skull and forms a cap around all the forebrain structures. It is a wrinkled structure which contains a high density of cells and is divided into the frontal, parietal, temporal, and occipital lobes. The cortex is most markedly developed in man and other organisms of superior intelligence; this implies that the cortex is involved in more sophisticated or abstract functions and not in primitive life-sustaining mechanisms. Indeed, research has shown that the cortex controls very specialized functions which are regulated by specific cortical areas. Cortical function and control will not be discussed in detail here, but they will be mentioned in subsequent paragraphs when they relate to certain types of human behavior.
Indeed, the human brain and neurological system is highly complex and varies greatly from individual to individual. It is this variability in physiological makeup which is partly responsible for differences in personality types. The deter
