Cerebral Cortex Damage. Damage to any region of the cerebral cortex is typically caused by tumors, autoimmune diseases, bleeding in your brain, or a stroke.Symptoms of possible damage depend on ...

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

For more than 50 years, it has been known that in the cerebral cortex of many mammals, neurons with the same function are ...

Scientists at ETH Zurich have broken new ground by generating over 400 types of nerve cells from stem cells in the lab, far ...

Researchers have developed a new approach for describing the shape of the cerebral cortex, and provide evidence that cortices across mammalian species resemble a universal, fractal pattern.

Folds in the cerebral cortex in mammals are believed to be indispensable for higher brain functions but the mechanisms underlying cortical folding remain unknown. By using the latest genome ...

The cerebral cortex is particularly important in higher brain functions. The cerebral cortex of higher animals, including humans, has many folds, called the gyrus (plural: "gyri").

The Cerebral Cortex Your fists represent the cerebral cortex, the most complex area of your brain. Notice how it is divided into two equal half balls, or spheres, called hemispheres.

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 ...

You can imagine the billions of neural connections within, and between, the cerebellum and the cerebral cortex like the old phone wires of a utility grid similar to these seen in this illustration ...
