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

The claustrum is a thin sheet of neurons buried deep within the cerebral cortex. The structure is so small and hidden that ...

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 ...

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.

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 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 ...

During slow-wave sleep, the cortex alternates between UP states of vigorous firing and DOWN states of near-silence; the Sst-Chodl neurons broke this pattern. “Their activity is even higher at the ...

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) ...
