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

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 ...

How a person's brain grows and makes connections can determine intelligence as well as susceptibility to disorders such as epilepsy and mental illness. However, a lot of questions remain about how the ...

How a person's brain grows and makes connections can determine intelligence as well as susceptibility to disorders such as epilepsy and mental ...

Neurons move backward to refine their positions in the brain after birth, reshaping the six-layered neocortex responsible for ...

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 ...

The cerebral cortex exhibits a sophisticated neural architecture across its six layers. Recently, it was found that these layers exhibit different ratios of excitatory to inhibitory (EI) neurons, ...

However, the spatial proximity of cells processing input from the same eye continued in the overlying and underlying layers, thereby forming so-called ocular dominance columns. Although the columnar ...

Cerebral Cortex – Greater encephalization than humans in that they have more complex networks of gyri and sulci. – Dolphins have 40 percent more cerebral cortex – Large cerebral cortex with ...

High-level characterizations of the primate cerebral cortex sit between two extremes ... Importantly, our method does not involve manual parcelation of the cortex into layers, and therefore partly ...
