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 ...

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