Which cortex? Proof?

Sorry for not being polite, but to me what you are saying is sounding
like undifferentiated b.s. and it is certainly not the general
conclusion.

I have not met one single brain surfer who assumed that just some
single neural network was responsible for conscious thought and
undifferentiated memory and undifferentiated perception.

Sounds more like some theory of a sense censored headblind who eats
other mammals or abuses them in other forms and therefore does not
want to have main I areas within the limbic system.
