Brain cortex tissue. Light micrograph of a section through tissue from the cortex of the brain. The cortex,or grey matter,is the outer layer of the brain,and is composed mainly of nerve cell nuclei (round,grey/blue). Glial cells (neuroglia) are red. Glial cells are non-neuronal cells that provide structural support and nutrients to the nerve cells (neurons). The cortex is involved in conscious thought,language and awareness.
