The outermost layer of the brain's cerebral cortex is a major meeting point for information coming from across the brain.

Researchers at Leipzig University's Carl Ludwig Institute have discovered that in the cerebral cortex, synaptic signal transmission between brain cells functions very reliably even at low ...

This article summarizes the key points of the article "Decades-long debate settled: Brain neurons are 'generalists' rather than 'specialists'," published on 'BioMarket jp,' a news site reporting on ...

The development of the cerebral cortex requires precise temporal control of transcription factor (TF) activity to coordinate neuronal and glial lineage transitions. However, the molecular mechanisms ...

Scientists introduce CCSI, a 7T MRI index linking laminar blood flow to cortical cell density, energy metabolism, and cognitive brain function.

The cerebral cortex is the largest part of a mammal's brain, and by some measures the most important. In humans in particular, it's where most things happen-like perception, thinking, memory storage ...

A recent study published in Nature Communications demonstrated how droplet-based three-dimensional (3D) printing could help fabricate cerebral cortex tissues comprising layer-specific neurons ...

Stanford scientists have created a new model for studying human brain development by transplanting lab-grown human brain ...

A research team at the University of Southern California (USC) has developed a new metric to evaluate how well cerebral blood flow corresponds to the cellular structure of the cerebral cortex.This met ...
