Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The neural cortex is the outermost layer of tissue on both the cerebellum and cerebral hemispheres. It is not found on the pons, so option B can be eliminated. Option A is partially correct, but the question asks for the structure where the neural cortex is found on the surface, indicating multiple structures. Therefore, the best choice is D, which includes both the cerebellum and cerebral hemispheres. Option E is incorrect because it includes the pons, which was eliminated.
