Genetic cues and communication between neurons and progenitors influence the development o the cerebral cortex, a new study reports.
High resolution imaging reveals the human cerebellum is 80% of the area of the cortex. The findings indicate this area of the brain likely grew larger as human behavior and cognition evolved.
A new study challenges the assumption of many scientists, that the most active neurons involved in complex activity are also the most important in controlling behavior.
A new study describes the vascular architecture within the cerebral cortex, exploring what the structure means for neuroimaging and the onset of dementia.
A new 3D imaging method allows researchers to measure brain growth and folding patterns in a baby's brain during the third trimester of pregnancy.
Researchers identify that the connectivity between the thalamus and cerebral cortex is impaired in children with autism.
Researchers discover a specific gene only found in humans, Neanderthals and Denisova-Humans which trigger brain stem cells to form a bigger pool of stem cells.
A new study reveals pericyte degeneration may influence the development of Alzheimer's disease.
According to a new study, intelligence in animal species can be estimated by the size of the holes in the skull through which the arteries pass.
A new study reveals the role basket cells play in navigation.
fMRI brain scans reveal semantic tuning during both reading and listening to words are highly correlated in selective areas of the cerebral cortex. The new brain maps enabled researchers to accurately predict which words would active specific regions of the cortex.
Researchers have successfully recreated the whisker map a mouse creates of its surroundings to help it navigate the world, catch food and avoid predators.
