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

Can a cup of peppermint tea sharpen your mind? A new study suggests it can—but not in the way scientists expected. Improved ...

Understanding others’ beliefs—especially false ones—is key to human communication and begins to develop between ages three ...

Experts trace auditory signals in the cerebellum cortex of a dolphin and gain meaningful insights about echolocation that ...

We can't see what other people are thinking, so we have to infer it and that's very crucial for our communication as humans.

Researchers at the University of Tokyo have demonstrated that the strength of synaptic connections in the cerebral cortex ...

The transmission of signals can, however, not just be strengthened or weakened; it can also be enabled in the first place or completely stopped. For example, neuroscientists know today that synapses ...

AIM To investigate the relation between lesion volume, lesion location, and clinical outcome in children with infarction in the territory of the middle cerebral artery (MCA). PATIENTS AND METHODS ...

Objective: Silent brain infarctions (SBIs), which appear as dot-like lesions on diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) after endovascular procedures, are associated with an increased risk of subsequent ...

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 ...

Limbic system: The limbic system is located deep in the brain and is composed of several small structures, including the hippocampus, amygdala, thalamus, and hypothalamus. Internal capsule: This area ...

The MCA segments lead to 10 branches to supply blood to parts of the brain. The MCA supplies the speech-related Broca's area and Wernicke's area, which control your ability to speak and understand ...
