#layers of neurons in cortex

1 public question tagged with this topic.

The cerebral cortex contains how many layers of neurons?

The correct answer is C: Six. In Structure and Function of Nervous System, this idea is central because it matches how the body actually works in everyday teaching examples. Put simply, Six is the option that correctly names the structure, process, or principle asked for in Structure and Function of Nervous System. That is why Six is the option that holds up when you check it against basic physiology. When you revise, say the answer out loud with one short reason attached; that sticks better than rote lists. Remember that physiology questions reward precise language: name the process, the location, and the outcome, then match that to the option text.

Ref: Animal physiology is Unit 7 of the CSIR NET Life Science Syllabus, covering core body systems. It accounts for roughly 10% of the total marks in Sections B and C.
