User: Describe the different functions of the central core of the brain compared to the cerebral cortex. Why are both important?

Weegy: The central core is found in all vertebrates. [ Its five main regions help regulate basic life processors including breathing, pulse, arousal, movement, balance, sleep, and the early stage of processing sensory information while cerebral cortex directs the brain's higher cognitive and emotional functions. Areas within the brain perform specific functions and contain structures that regulate every day life. ]
