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 ...

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 ...

Investigators have discovered that activity in two widely distributed brain networks previously considered separate are ...

If it decides yes, your brain's motor cortex, a small area that exists on the outer part of your brain, calls for messages to be sent through your spinal cord and down your arm to the muscles that ...

Magically nutritious? A healthy diet can help reduce the risk of dementia — and a daily bowl of cereal could be your lucky ...

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 ...

When we touch something hot or cold, the temperature is consciously sensed. Previous studies have shown that the cortex, the outermost layer of the brain, is responsible for thermal sensations.

the projection cells of the cerebral cortex, use radial glial processes as a scaffold to move away from the same proliferative zone and form the layers of the cortex in an inside-out manner.

Researchers found that the process of 'brain maturation', whereby the volume and thickness of the cortex (the outer layer of the brain) decreases during adolescence, is a factor in whether ...

Using a single-cell sequencing technique, it was possible to characterize the different cell types present in the brain ...

Scientists at Stanford Medicine are advancing the understanding of schizophrenia by creating a "periodic table" for ...
