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 ...

Determining the genetic and epigenetic factors that influence brain folding is the objective of the latest study co-led by the Neurogenesis and Cortical Expansion laboratory, directed by researcher ...

Researchers have developed a new approach for describing the shape of the cerebral cortex, and provide evidence that cortices across mammalian species resemble a universal, fractal pattern.

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 ...

It used to be thought that without the cerebral cortex, consciousness could not exist. New research, however, has found that humans and animals missing part or all of their cortices are still capable ...

Cerebral amyloid angiopathy is a major cause of hemorrhagic stroke, a frequent contributor to age-related cognitive impairment, and a key component in adverse responses to beta-amyloid (Aβ) ...

A new study combines tau PET with network mapping to prove remote circuit disruption drives cognitive symptoms in PSP.

Spastic diplegia cerebral palsy (SDCP) is a form of cerebral palsy that causes muscle stiffness and spasms in a person’s legs and, sometimes, arms. This is due to damage to the motor cortex of the ...
