This is about the size of your brain, spread out, he says. The part that matters. The cerebral cortex. The 100 billion neurons there are also known as the brain’s gray matter. And the human brain does things beyond anyone’s comprehension. Evolution created the smartest machine in this world. — Annie Jacobsen

It's the willingness to experiment freely. — Mike Portnoy

Too many scholars think of research as purely a cerebral pursuit. If we do nothing with the knowledge we gain, then we have wasted our study.

My experience of singing, as an actor, was that there's a different creative feeling of freedom. The acting thing is a bit more defined and cerebral. I can see why people would want to cross over. If you have so much freedom on stage then perhaps you want to be confined a bit, and vice versa. — Orlando Bloom
Consciousness is cerebral celebrity--nothing more and nothing less. Those contents are conscious that persevere, that monopolize resources long enough to achieve certain typical and "symptomatic" effects--on memory, on the control of behavior and so forth. — Daniel Dennett
