A new experiment suggests that the thalamus plays a key role in humans becoming consciously aware of stimuli their brain ...

Neuroscientists have produced the largest wiring diagram and functional map of a mammalian brain to date using tissue from a ...

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.

In all, they collected data that covers about 3.4 miles (5.4 kilometers) of neuronal wiring in a part of the brain that processes visual information from the eyes.

The GABA (γ-aminobutyric acid)-ergic interneurons of the cerebral cortex are a diverse population ... how inhibition shapes cortical function. How to classify neocortical interneurons has been ...

Your brain then decides whether or not to carry out what it has read. 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 ...

The cerebral cortex is the brain's outer layer ... Simultaneously, they've been characterizing the function of neurons - for example, what information they process," said neuroscientist Andreas ...

F or more than 50 years, it has been known that in the cerebral cortex of many mammals, neurons with the same function are grouped into columns. Now, for the first time, researchers at the Max ...

Years ago, as a neurology resident, Chinfei Chen, MD, PhD , cared for a 20-year-old woman who had experienced a very small stroke, affecting only the ...

Neurons from discrete neocortical areas send axons near and far to numerous subcortical and cortical targets. The great diversity of neocortical neurons allows some neuron subtypes to specialize in ...
