The cerebral cortex, also known as gray matter, is your brain’s outermost layer and is located above the cerebrum. Learn more about its vital functions.

Explore brain anatomy, from the cerebrum, cerebellum, and brain stem, to the deep structures within the brain, such as the limbic system and basal ganglia.

A detailed physiological characterization of inputs to the motor thalamus adds nuance to the notion that information from the cerebellum and basal ganglia are segregated and provides a mechanism by ...

In the granule cell layer of the cerebellar cortex, we initially focused our efforts on localizing glutamate receptors within glomeruli using MAP processing. We used antibodies against panAMPA, the ...
