Left and right brains hear speech differently, yet how this divide forms was unclear − until mouse studies showed each hemisphere runs on its own developmental clock.

In addition to MERFISH, the scientists also used traditional nuclei staining to capture the overall cytoarchitecture of cells in the brain. Consistent with previous reports, at 20 and 22 weeks old, ...

Neuroscientists chart 3.4 miles of brain wiring in visual cortex of mouse The tissue, about the size of a grain of sand, revealed over 200,000 brain cells and approximately 524 million synapses ...

The cerebral cortex, also known as gray matter, is your brain’s outermost layer and is located above the cerebrum. Learn more about its vital functions.

Spaces between the layers contain veins and arteries that supply blood flow to the brain. Arachnoid mater is a thin, weblike layer of connective tissue that doesn’t contain nerves or blood vessels.

The cerebral cortex is the outermost layer of the brain, and is responsible for complex functions such as thought, perception and decision-making. Cerebral cortex folding, known as gyrification, is ...
