Somewhat later in development, pyramidal neurons, the projection cells of the cerebral cortex, use radial glial processes as a scaffold to move away from the same proliferative zone and form the ...

The discovery of a key molecular mechanism that controls the development of these ... and specialized cortical areas of the brain, such as the prefrontal cortex, that are crucial for cognition ...

The cerebral cortex forms the outer layer of the cerebrum. Nested deeper within the brain are essential structures such as the basal ganglia, the amygdala, and the hippocampus. Toward the bottom ...

the wrinkly outer layer of the brain. It processes sensory information, coordinates our motion, and is in charge of our higher order functions, such as language processing and problem solving.

A new study conducted by SISSA's Laboratory of Cerebral Cortex Development and recently published in BMC Biology has led to a ...

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 be sent through your spinal cord and down your arm to the muscles that ...

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

Using a single-cell sequencing technique, Brazilian researchers have created the first cell atlas of focal cortical dysplasia ...

With further research and validation, the approach could be used to grant insights into the development of various degenerative and congenital neuropathic conditions. The cerebral cortex is the ...
