A Japanese research team has successfully reproduced the human neural circuit in vitro using multi-region miniature organs ...

Researchers identify mutation that causes excessive folding in human brain's wrinkly cerebral cortex, resulting in diminished cognitive function. The outer layer of the human brain or cerebral cortex, ...

The correct development of the brain cortex is an essential process for the acquisition of correct cognitive skills. Reelin, a key extracellular protein in neuronal migration and synaptic plasticity, ...

The cerebral cortex is the largest part of a mammal's brain, and by some measures the most important. In humans in particular, it's where most things happen-like perception, thinking, memory storage ...

A recent study published in Nature Communications demonstrated how droplet-based three-dimensional (3D) printing could help fabricate cerebral cortex tissues comprising layer-specific neurons ...

This protective layer allows signals to pass between cells incredibly quickly. But what happens when this layer goes missing ...

The cerebellum (which is Latin for ‘little brain’) is the area of the brain in charge of fine motor coordination and balance, and it keeps our movements smooth and stable by predicting what our next ...

New research shows that the prefrontal cortex doesn’t simply broadcast generic commands to sensory regions—it sends finely tailored signals that shape how the brain processes vision depending on ...
