Số nhiều: cortical columns
This term is a specialized neuroanatomical concept used primarily in neuroscience and biological psychology. It describes a modular organization of the brain where neurons are grouped vertically across different layers of the cortex, acting as a discrete processing unit for specific sensory or motor information.
Because it refers to a physical, anatomical structure, it is used in a technical register. It is rarely encountered outside of academic papers, medical textbooks, or clinical discussions regarding brain architecture and functional localization.
