  "summary": "The human brain is often described as one of the most complex structures in biology, and much of its power comes from how it's organized. Its outer layer, the cerebral cortex, is not one uniform sheet. As the brain develops, it divides into distinct areas that each take on different jobs, from movement and vision to memory, language and social understanding.",
