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 ...

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.

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

The cerebral cortex is the thin, outermost layer of the cerebrum, extending across all the brain’s lobes. Just 1.5 to 5 millimeters in width, it is composed of the neurons that make up the brain ...

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 ...

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.

At Cortical Labs, CEO Hon Weng Chong and his team have trained human brain cells on a computer chip to play the classic video game Pong. Chong is now turning the Australian startup’s technology ...
