Radial migration is the principal mode of migration in the developing cerebral cortex, although the GABA (γ-aminobutyric acid)-expressing interneurons, which arise in the ventral telencephalon ...

The cerebral cortex forms the outer layer of the cerebrum. Nested deeper within the brain are essential structures such as the basal ganglia, the amygdala, and the hippocampus. Toward the bottom ...

Imagine a swarm of fireflies, flickering lights on and off in the nighttime space. How does the human brain process and ...

A study by cognitive neuroscientists at SISSA investigated how the human brain processes space and time, uncovering that ...

In anterior regions, such as the frontal cortex, space and time are processed independently, with distinct neural populations ...

If it decides yes, your brain's motor cortex, a small area that exists on the outer part of your brain, calls for messages to be sent through your spinal cord and down your arm to the muscles that ...

These two hemispheres make up the cerebral cortex. This controls most of our senses, intelligence, personality, conscious thought and high-level functions, such as language and verbal memory.

The brain controls complex behaviour. It is made of billions of interconnected neurons and has different regions that carry out different functions.
