The small grooves on the surface of our brain may play a key role in our reasoning. A recent study reveals that their depth ...

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 morphology ...

The primary visual cortex (V1) is probably the best characterized area of primate cortex, but whether this region contributes directly to conscious visual experience is controversial. Early ...

A recent study has shed light on the brain structure differences associated with psychopathy—a condition known to be one of ...

You can now order a literal bio-computer with 800,000 neurons inside, courtesy of Cortical Labs, for a cool $35,000. We talked about this topic before, but the CL1 is now commercially available ...

Areas of the brain that help a person differentiate between what is real and what is imaginary have been uncovered in a new study led by UCL researchers.

Prior research (e.g., Watanabe et al., 2019) finds that people with autism have difficulty shifting brain states, with related brain networks showing less connectivity due to "functional segregation." ...

Based on several lines of interesting data, the authors conclude that FMRP, though associated with stalled ribosomes, does not determine the position on the mRNAs at which ribosomes stall. Although ...
