• Multimodal Association Cortex Multimodal association cortex is distinct in its location and connections from primary (i.
• A large portion of the association cortex is found in the frontal lobes, which have expanded most rapidly over the past 20,000 or so generations (about 500,000 years) of human evolution.
• Other association cortex is higher order and may be multimodal [see diagram].
• Because Alzheimer dementia and dementia with Lewy bodies affect clinically memory and cognitive skills that are thought to be subserved by neural systems involving high order association cortex, using the multimodal association cortex is key to our study design.
