cortical activation

cortical activation Cortical activation is the level of activity in areas of the brain’s cortex while a person performs a task.

Cortical activation is the level of activity in areas of the brain’s cortex while a person performs a task. In this context, it refers to task-related activity in regions such as the prefrontal and vestibular cortices, estimated from changes in oxygenated blood, and lower activation after practice may reflect more efficient cognitive-motor processing.
