Shelton fell off of a ladder while cleaning the windows. He can not stand up without assistance and is unable to catch a ball. Which is the most likely affected part of the brain?
Cerebellum
Cerebrum
Cerebral Cortex

What is the significance of having such a wrinkly grooved cerebral cortex?
Having a smooth cortex surface would make neural communication more difficult.
The grooves prevent the brain from becoming dehydrated.
