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.

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

"Brain cortical morphology, indexed by its surface area and thickness, is known to be highly heritable," wrote Bochao Danae Lin, Yunzhi Li and their colleagues in their paper.

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.

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 ...

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.

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 ...

The brain’s cortex, which handles higher cognitive functions in mammals, is split into six distinct physical layers marked by varying cell types, sizes and connections—and new research ...
