So many of life's most pivotal decisions come down to one question: Should you listen to your logic or your emotions? Popular ...
In a bid to better understand, and potentially treat, a host of conditions that affect early cognition, neurodevelopment and the brain later in life, investigators at Johns Hopkins Medicine and ...

Summary: An international team has completed a massive “blueprint” of the human neocortex, the brain’s outer layer responsible for high-level thinking, decision-making, and sensory processing. By ...
We all occasionally put things off. We all, at least occasionally, avoid doing things we need to do. We all procrastinate. Even though Adam Grant feels procrastinating can sometimes be good for you, ...
Summary: For decades, researchers believed the human language network was primarily located in the brain’s neocortex, the outer layer responsible for high-level cognition. However, neuroscientists ...
The brain’s “little brain” may hold big promise for people with language trouble. Tucked into the base of the brain, the fist-sized cerebellum is most known for its role in movement, posture and ...
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 ...
Abstract: The spatial pooler in brain's neocortex models how the cortical neurons learn the feedforward connections and forms the cortical representation from various sensory information. To realize ...
