Answer:

Cerebral cortex.

Step-by-step explanation:

Cerebral cortex is a thin layer around the cerebrum that is responsible for movement, processing information from the five senses, and the ability to understand. It is a thin layer found in the brain that is responsible for covering the outer portion or part (about 1.5mm to 5mm) of the cerebrum.

Generally, the cerebral cortex is also known as gray matter and mainly covered by the meninges.

The cerebral cortex typically makes up two-third (⅔) of the total mass of the brain and is responsible for learning and understanding of language, planning and organization, touch sensation, thinking, perception, production and processing of information.

Additionally, cerebral cortex comprises of four (4) lobes and these includes frontal lobes, occipital lobes, temporal lobes and parietal lobes.
