A new study shows that the cerebral cortex predicts the future by detecting novel stimuli and forming short-term memory ...

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 ...

A new study shows that the cerebral cortex acts as a "memory machine," constantly detecting novel stimuli to refine its predictions of the future.

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 ...

The cerebral cortex is the largest part of a mammal's brain, and by some measures, the most important. In humans in ...

Finally, whereas in rats and mice DCX-labeled neurons are predominantly present in the SGL and SVZ, with only a few DCX neurons present in piriform cortex, the degu also shows significant numbers of ...

This review centers on the regulatory events that govern proneural gene function in the developing and adult cerebral cortex. To provide a contextual framework, we first provide a high-level overview, ...

A study sheds light on how networks in the brain detect new information, offering insight into disorders like schizophrenia.

The SYNGAP1 gene, which supports the production of a protein called SynGAP (Synaptic Ras GTPase-Activating Protein), is known ...

A study has found that the cortex acts like a "memory machine", encoding new experiences and predicting the near future, ...

Animals rely on instinctive behaviors to respond quickly to threats and opportunities. These automatic reactions, crucial for ...
