Single neurons in mouse sensorimotor cortex are organized by their activity features into distinct subpopulations with area-spanning footprints whose boundaries align closely with anatomical and ...

In Alzheimer’s disease, two key proteins, extracellular amyloid-beta plaques and an intercellular protein called tau, disrupt communication between the brain’s cells and lead to cell damage and death.

WASHINGTON, Nov 6 (Reuters) - Scientists have reached a milestone in an ambitious initiative to chart how the many types of brain cells emerge and mature from the earliest embryonic and fetal stages ...

A new study out of the U.K. lays out how thumbs helped shape brain development in humans and other primates. Scientists found a link between thumb size and the size of the neocortex which is involved ...

The neocortex is part of the human brain’s cerebral cortex where higher cognitive functioning is thought to originate from. Due to the natural grooves and ridges in the brain, the neocortex is ...
