The cerebral cortex is your brain’s outermost layer. It has a wrinkled appearance due to the grooves and folds that increase its surface area. Here, we look at the anatomy of the cerebral cortex and ...

Researchers at Leipzig University's Carl Ludwig Institute have discovered that in the cerebral cortex, synaptic signal transmission between brain cells functions very reliably even at low ...

Determining the genetic and epigenetic factors that influence brain folding is the objective of the latest study co-led by the Neurogenesis and Cortical Expansion laboratory, directed by researcher ...

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 ...

Enhancing prefrontal cortex (PFC) cognitive functions requires identifying suitable exercises that increase cerebral blood flow. A recent study using functional near-infrared spectroscopy found that ...

Dementia describes many conditions that cause physical changes in the brain, leading people to lose some mental abilities. Cortical dementia refers to dementias that damage the cerebral cortex. The ...

Spastic diplegia cerebral palsy (SDCP) is a form of cerebral palsy that causes muscle stiffness and spasms in a person’s legs and, sometimes, arms. This is due to damage to the motor cortex of the ...
