Neocortex

Submitted by ptong on Mon, 07/14/2008 - 1:07pm.
So from what I understand, the neocortex allows us to inhibit patterns that we do daily, to allow us to learn new things. From the examples we discussed today, they all involved motor units. How does the neocortex inhibit patterns in parts of the brain to allow learning? What are examples of neuronal units being effected by neocortex?
