Researchers at Leipzig University's Carl Ludwig Institute have discovered that in the cerebral cortex, synaptic signal ...

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.

A brain map built up from scans of more than 400 individuals has carved the "cortex" into 180 different compartments, including 97 new ones.

Neuroscientists have discovered an area of the brain, the insular cortex, that processes painful experiences and thereby drives learning from aversive events. Acute pain, e.g. hitting your leg ...

Scientists divide the neocortex into smaller cortical areas that are often referred to as the “organs of the brain”. Some cortical areas have been extremely well described, whereas others pose ...

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.

They examined the thickness of the cortex across the entire brain, the surface area of each cortical region and a measure that they called the gyrification index.
