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

Scientists have found evidence of new brain cells sprouting in adults - a process that many thought only occurred in children ...

In a nutshell Baby brains develop pain processing in stages, with sensory networks maturing first (34-36 weeks), emotional ...

This vascular stimulation improves cognition, memory, and learning by enhancing blood supply and nutrient delivery to the ...

Can a cup of peppermint tea sharpen your mind? A new study suggests it can—but not in the way scientists expected. Improved ...

Can Neuralink’s Blindsight brain chip really help the blind see? Explore the tech, trials, and reality behind Musk’s ...

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

Using rare brain recordings from patients, scientists found that the thalamus helps trigger visual awareness. The study ...

For example, one cluster of Layer-6-defining excitatory neurons seen at week 22 had branched out into nine clusters by week 34. Besides timing the layering of the cortex, spatial transcriptomics also ...

Neuroscientists have produced the largest wiring diagram and functional map of a mammalian brain to date using tissue from a part of a mouse's cerebral cortex involved in vision, an achievement ...

But the main differences we found were not in the prefrontal cortex. They were in the temporal lobe, a large part of cortex located approximately behind the ear. In the primate brain, this area is ...

A cubic millimeter of brain tissue may not sound like much. But considering that tiny square contains 57,000 cells, 230 millimeters of blood vessels, and 150 million synapses, all amounting to ...
