The cerebral cortex, the outermost layer of the brain, is the central driver of various human capabilities, including decision-making, perception, language and memory. Understanding how the ...

Neuroscientists have produced the largest wiring diagram and functional map of a mammalian brain to date using tissue from a part of a mouse's cerebral cortex involved in vision, an achievement ...

A global team has constructed the most detailed wiring diagram of a mammalian brain to date. A global collaboration of over 150 researchers has created the most detailed wiring diagram of a mammalian ...

“It is no use asking for the impossible, such as, say, the exact wiring diagram for a cubic millimeter of brain tissue and the way all its neurons are firing,” Crick wrote in Scientific American.

Einstein's brain had an extraordinary prefrontal cortex, a scientist finds 14 photographs of Einstein's brain were recently uncovered by the National Museum of Health and Medicine Einstein's brain ...

The parietal lobe is one of the brain’s major lobes. It sits near the upper back area in the skull. The lobe processes sensory information received from the outside world, mainly relating to ...

How the brain largely maintains its function when neurons are lost—this is what researchers at the University Medical Center Mainz, the Frankfurt Institute for Advanced Studies (FIAS) and Hebrew ...

The brain is the human body's control system, ... The cerebellum is an ancient part of the brain, and the cerebral cortex grew on top of it as humans evolved. Learn more about the cerebellum here.

Talk about a paradox: For all its mysterious powers, the brain boggles at the miracle of itself. Weighing about three pounds in most adults, the organ is primarily made of fat mixed with lesser ...

The DMN includes four main brain regions: the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC), the posterior cingulate cortex (PCC), the angular gyrus and the hippocampus. While several studies have explored the ...
