Researchers from the University of New Hampshire looked at the developmental process of the cerebral cortex—the outermost ...

indicated by an arrow), i.e., the outer fiber layer, has destinations in the proximal areas of the same cerebral cortex, while the deep fiber layer (green, indicated by arrowheads), i.e. the inner ...

The cerebral cortex forms the outer layer of the cerebrum. Nested deeper within the brain are essential structures such as the basal ganglia, the amygdala, and the hippocampus. Toward the bottom ...

The National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT) has revealed, through fMRI-based brain activity ...

The parts of the brain needed to remember words have been identified. Those areas are affected by a common form of epilepsy, ...

Over the course of human evolution, our brains expanded massively. One of the areas that ballooned over the past few million years is the cerebral cortex, the wrinkly outer layer of the brain. It ...

The folding brain creates a stress landscape, causing axons – the long, slender projections of neurons that transmit ...

Layer formation in the developing cerebral cortex requires the movement of neurons from their site of origin to their final laminar position. We demonstrate, using time-lapse imaging of acute ...

These clusters were most distinct in the middle layers of the visual cortex ... Although the columnar organization of the cerebral cortex was described more than half a century ago, the function ...

Neural speech tracking in children with cochlear implants shows that an early phase of hearing loss affects sensory and higher-level processing differently. Tracking is present at short timescales ...
