The human brain ages less than thought and in layers – at least in the area of the cerebral cortex responsible for the sense of touch. Researchers at DZNE, the University of Magdeburg, and the Hertie ...

The human brain ages less than thought and in layers—at least in the area of the cerebral cortex responsible for the sense of touch. Researchers at DZNE, the University of Magdeburg, and the Hertie ...

Throughout the brain's cortex, neurons are arranged in six distinctive layers, which can be readily seen with a microscope. A team of MIT neuroscientists has now found that these layers also show ...

A new MIT study finds that somatostatin-expressing neurons follow a unique trajectory when forming connections in the brain’s ...

A recent study published in Nature Communications demonstrated how droplet-based three-dimensional (3D) printing could help fabricate cerebral cortex tissues comprising layer-specific neurons ...

Perhaps our most defining characteristic as a species, the six-layered human cortex, hosts billions of neural connections that bestow Homo sapiens with higher-order thinking. But how does this ...

Researchers from Kyushu University discovered a previously unrecognized synaptic "hotspot" that forms during adolescence, ...

As in larger brains, mouse visual cortex neurons with the same function cluster in columns. For over 50 years, it has been known that in the cerebral cortex of many mammals, neurons with the same ...
