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 ...

A new 21st century map of the human brain contains 180 distinct areas in each hemisphere, including 97 previously undiscovered territories, research published Wednesday in the journal Nature ...

Smaller, shallow brain folds in the posteromedial cortex show greater thinning with age and Alzheimer’s disease, and their ...

The scientists then demonstrated how patterned cortical organoids can be used to study brain disorders. In achondroplasia patients, the temporal lobe—an area of the cortex—forms incorrectly.

Our understanding of brain activity has traditionally been linked to brain areas – when we speak, the speech area of the brain is active. New research shows that this view may be overly rigid.

Introduction The brain plays a key role in the perceptual regulation of exercise, yet neuroimaging techniques have only demonstrated superficial brain areas responses during exercise, and little is ...

He says their cortical surface template could be used for studies on vision, hearing, language, and individual differences, as well as on disorders such as autism and neurodegenerative diseases ...

Dissociations in the involvement of six cortical regions in intra-individual RT variability. Credit: Nature Communications (2024). DOI: 10.1038/s41467-023-44341-5 ...

It has long been known that a brain area called the visual cortex is involved in the process. Yet there are animals in which this area is much less developed than ours or does not exist at all.

Another brain region, called the premotor cortex, is known to have a role in planning movements, but the areas found by Gordon and Dosenbach's team are woven into the primary motor cortex itself.
