Folds in the cerebral cortex in mammals are believed to be indispensable for higher brain functions but the mechanisms underlying cortical folding remain unknown. By using the latest genome editing ...

Researchers identify mutation that causes excessive folding in human brain's wrinkly cerebral cortex, resulting in diminished cognitive function. The outer layer of the human brain or cerebral cortex, ...

Overconnectivity or underconnectivity between specific regions of the cerebellum and the cerebral cortex are linked to children with autism specturm disorders. Source: SDSU Marketing and ...

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 ...

The liver, the heart, the gonads, and a host of other human organs evolved long before the cerebral cortex reached its current level of power, control, and influence over the human organism. So did, ...

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 ...

IN the series of Croonian lectures delivered at the Royal College of Physicians (June 12, 17, 19, and 24) Prof. Elliot Smith claimed that much of the obscurity concerning the meaning of the structure ...
