You might expect that with age comes a natural progression of brain degeneration, but new research shows that this might not be the case for all regions of the brain. A new analysis of mouse and human ...

Researchers have mapped 30 million cells to create a definitive atlas of the human neocortex. This blueprint reveals how human brain development differs from other mammals and provides a roadmap for ...

Memory failures often feel like personal lapses, but new research suggests the problem may be rooted in hidden architecture inside the brain’s core learning hub. Scientists have uncovered previously ...

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Researchers say they have uncovered key abnormalities in some of the layers of the brains of children with autism, an indication that the foundation for the problem is laid ...

The six anatomical layers of the mammalian brain cortex show distinct patterns of electrical activity which are consistent throughout the entire cortex and across several animal species, including ...

Scientists have spent decades trying to understand whether the layered sheet of tissue that covers your brain follows one common pattern for handling information. Each region of the cortex contains ...

Throughout the brain's cortex, neurons are arranged in six distinctive layers, which can be readily seen with a microscope. A team of MIT neuroscientists has now found that these layers also show ...

Researchers from the German Center for Neurodegenerative Diseases (DZNE), the University of Magdeburg, and the Hertie Institute for Clinical Brain Research at the University of Tübingen have found ...
