大脳 refers to the cerebrum as a whole, while 大脳皮質 specifically means the cerebral cortex, its outer layer.

Etymology

Compound of 大脳 (だいのう, 'cerebrum') and 皮質 (ひしつ, 'cortex'). The term is a direct anatomical borrowing from Western medicine, likely calqued from German 'Großhirnrinde' or English 'cerebral cortex'.
