Why would this be of any interest? In any event, the brain is very roughly speaking rather symmetrically distributed and more or less uniform in density so the center of gravity would be right in the center. Certainly on the midline and therefore not in the neocortex at all. Yes, I know there are asymmetries but these are very minor. And there are differences in density between the gray and white matter and there are ventricles but these are also more or less symmetrically distributed.
