The cerebral cortex is your brain’s outermost layer. It has a wrinkled appearance due to the grooves and folds that increase its surface area. Here, we look at the anatomy of the cerebral cortex ...

Researchers have developed a new suite of genetic tools for cell-type specific targeting to battle brain disease.

In the past, labeling individual neurons allowed researchers to study the neurons that project from the brain's cortex to the striatum. The results suggested that the pathways are exclusively ...

The study showed that while the amygdala was less active when an individual labeled the feeling, another region of the brain was more active: the right ventrolateral prefrontal cortex. This region ...

Immunohistochemical analysis together with tracer labeling in brain slices showed that cells showing ventricle-directed migration in the developing cortex are GABAergic interneurons originating in ...

even from the 19th century - they were whole-brain maps; they had a label for every spot on the cortex. Any part of the brain has already been looked at. "[This work] certainly defines something ...

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 ...

Brains contain extremely densely packed networks of membranous connections used by about 86 billion nerve cells for communication between one other. Since each nerve cell in the cerebral cortex of ...
