Neocortex

The neocortex is like the supercomputer in your brain that helps you do really complicated things. It has lots of layers and looks like a squishy gray cap on top of your brain. The neocortex helps you think, learn, remember things, and even feel emotions. It's kind of like the boss of your brain that helps you do all the cool things that your brain can do!
