Studies of brain injuries and electrical stimulation seemed to bear this out. Damaging the Broca’s area, for instance, ...

Researchers have developed the first activity-based maps of the prefrontal cortex, challenging traditional descriptions of ...

Diversity of Radial Glia cells in the neonatal ferret cerebral cortex, labeled with green fluorescent protein and seen within the transparent brain. The development of the cerebral cortex largely ...

Researchers in Japan built a miniature human brain circuit using fused stem-cell–derived organoids, allowing them to watch the thalamus and cortex interact in real time. They found that the thalamus ...

The way the brain develops can shape us throughout our lives, so neuroscientists are intensely curious about how it happens.

When doctors review brain scans, each detail of the picture—each pixel or voxel—must be painstakingly labeled. The cerebral cortex, hippocampus, ventricles, and other structures all need to be marked ...

By Vijay Kumar Malesu New mouse data reveal that ageing neurons struggle to clear synaptic proteins, shifting the burden to ...

An intense international effort to improve the resolution of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for studying the human brain has culminated in an ultra-high resolution 7 Tesla scanner that records up to ...

Your ability to notice what matters visually comes from an ancient brain system over 500 million years old.
