Researchers at Leipzig University's Carl Ludwig Institute have discovered that in the cerebral cortex, synaptic signal ...

The cerebrum, especially the cerebral cortex, has long been thought to be the important part of our brain. However, the ...

The human cerebral cortex is 2–4 mm (0.08–0.16 inches) thick. In preserved brains, it has a gray color, hence the name "grey matter".

AI is learning to think like us, bridging the worlds of biology and technology. This breakthrough could redefine intelligence ...

Where a human uses the prefrontal cortex to solve a problem, set goals, and plan hypothetical actions, a horse uses memory. The last thing a prey animal needs to survive is a prefrontal cortex.

The cerebral cortex is composed of more than 10 billion cells and 100 trillion-plus connections, a layer of gray matter just five millimeters thick -- a little less than three stacked quarters.

This is a fascinating study, encompassing over 18 million single cells across eight cortical areas and seven developmental time points. By combining MERFISH with a deep-learning-based nuclear ...

Human brain organoids implanted into mouse cortex respond to visual stimuli for first time Using innovative recording technology, researchers show organoids respond to external sensory stimuli ...

Mysterious, spiral signals have been discovered in the human brain, ... Many neurological disorders, such as Alzheimer's disease and cerebral palsy, affect the cortex.

This humanoid robot has a mind of its own. Researchers at Tianjin University in China have created a robot that is controlled by human brain cells in a first-of-its-kind breakthrough in ...
