Mental illness is often described in abstract terms, but is rooted in the brain. A study reveals that genes influencing ...

Researchers use cortical organoids to answer fundamental questions such as how the human brain can grow to its large size or how the human brain's long-range connections form. However, cortical ...

To understand how the brain works, scientists often use neuroimaging to record participants’ brain activity when the brain is performing a task or at rest. Researchers often use what is called a ...

Neuroscientists have been trying to understand how the human brain supports numerous advanced capabilities for centuries. The ...

Even consciousness could reveal its secrets someday with this realistic simulation, researchers hope. It will not only ...

Physical gel models and numerical simulations have been created to study ferret brain gyrification and cortical malformations, while comparisons with human phenotypes aim to link genetics and brain ...

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 ...

Humans possess a remarkable balance between stability and flexibility, enabling them to quickly establish new plans and ...
