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 ...
The cerebrum plays the most important roles in the higher functions of the brain. In particular, the cerebral cortex, among other parts of the cerebrum, is essential.
To image the layers within the cerebellar cortex, they used a T2*-weighted fast low-angle shot (FLASH) sequence with a 210 × 210 × 15 mm field-of-view (FOV) and a voxel size of 0.19 × 0.19 × 0.5 mm.
The neocortex is part of the human brain’s cerebral cortex where higher cognitive functioning is thought to originate from. Due to the natural grooves and ridges in the brain, the neocortex is ...
The neocortex is a part of the brain of mammals. It is the top layer of the cerebral hemispheres, 2-4 mm thick, and made up of six layers, labelled I to VI (with VI being the innermost and I being ...
This report contains a summary of expression patterns for genes that are enriched in the Purkinje cell layer (CBXpu) of the cerebellum. All data is derived from the Allen Brain Atlas (ABA) in situ ...
The cerebral cortex is composed of more than 10 billion cells and 100 trillion-plus connections, a layer of gray matter just five millimeters thick -- a little less than three stacked quarters.
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 ...
Non-invasive stimulation of the cerebellum at a delta frequency normalizes brain activity in the frontal cortex of lab rats with schizophrenia-like thinking disorders, according to a first-of-its ...
