cortical representation

Cortical representation refers to how different parts of the brain's cortex are organized to process specific types of information. Each area of the cortex is responsible for different functions, such as vision, touch, or sound. For example, when you touch something, sensory information from your skin is mapped onto a specific region of your brain, allowing you to perceive that sensation. This mapping helps us understand how the brain interprets experiences and responds to the environment, playing a crucial role in learning, memory, and our overall perception of the world.
