Researchers from the University of New Hampshire looked at the developmental process of the cerebral cortex—the outermost ...

According to the study, the slow waves make the neocortex, the location of long-term memory, especially receptive to information. The findings could help to optimize the treatment approaches that ...

A study reveals that motor control in the brain is modular and adaptable. Using optogenetics and imaging in mice, researchers ...

Scientists have identified previously unknown neural modules in the brain that control movement and adapt during skill learning. Their findings challenge long-held ideas about how the brain organizes ...

Inhibitory circuits in the neocortex used to be so simple. Although it's true that the neocortex has a mystifying assortment of inhibitory interneurons 1, most of the fast synaptic connections ...
