Coastal Cortex Series:

The cerebral cortex plays keys roles in our brains related to memory, thinking, learning, reasoning, problem-solving, emotions, consciousness and functions related to the senses. How we organize the memories in our brain, what we put in our frontal lobe to navigate the everyday sometimes feels out of our control. If we recalculate the volume of the memories or have someone else do it for us, can we regain control of what we give our conscious thought access to?
