Abstract
The most characteristic feature of the cortical organisation, distinct from the nuclear and reticular subcortical formations, is that in its structure a multilayer and multi-level screen is present, being the most perfect reflective mechanism formed in the course of evolution. The cortical organisation is adapted to effectuating fine analysis and broad synthesis of diverse external and internal stimuli, as well as to differentiating and integrating signals and corresponding responses of various degrees of complexity. The diffe rentiation of the neocortex into cyto- and myeloarchitectonic layers is determined by a number of consecutive transformations of the neuronal structure. It is possible to establish definite features of similarity in the basic laws which govern the development of this process in onto- and phylogenesis.
