Thermal sensations are consciously differentiated as hot or cold by the brain; however, the neural mechanism that enables ...

The cerebral cortex forms the outer layer of the cerebrum ... The cerebrum is physically divided into two halves—the left hemisphere and right hemisphere—and the functions of which are ...

“We kept seeing these three different regions in the primary motor cortex that were very strongly connected to each other within one hemisphere,” Gordon explains. “Honestly, we kind of ignored it for ...

Researchers at Waseda University used EEG to map brain activity during thermal perception, identifying ten cortical regions ...

When we touch something hot or cold, the temperature is consciously sensed. Previous studies have shown that the cortex, the outermost layer of the brain, is responsible for thermal sensations.

We know the auditory cortex has more myelin in the left hemisphere of most people. Myelin is a fatty substance that acts as an insulator for nerve fibres. It increases neural communication speed ...

A study by Professor Kei Nagashima and Dr. Hironori Watanabe from Waseda University explored how the brain distinguishes ...

In general these results suggest that therapies which emphasise use of the hemiplegic side promote plasticity in the lesioned hemisphere ... may emphasise use of cortical networks used for ...

This was particularly evident in the right hemisphere of the brain as the cortex was thinner in women than in men. No gender difference was found in cerebral cortex thickness in gender-equal ...
