Speaking requires a precise sequence of muscle movements, long thought to be coordinated by Broca’s area in the brain.

Why do some people suffer more than others, even when the pain is the same? Scientists have uncovered a hidden brain circuit that connects the physical experience of pain to its emotional aftermath.

The discovery of the pyramidal syndrome and tract is briefly reviewed with emphasis on a few key historical aspects. The pursuit of the relationship between the lateralized deficits resulting from ...

Pyramidal tract Wallerian degeneration has been detected on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as T2-weighted high-intensity areas. We analyzed the relation between the extent of brain stem Wallerian ...

Left and right brains hear speech differently, yet how this divide forms was unclear − until mouse studies showed each hemisphere runs on its own developmental clock.

Neuroscientists can now make precise genetic tweaks to the neurons that are most affected by brain diseases such as Parkinson’s, Huntington’s and ALS ...

From a cubic millimeter of brain tissue, scientists have constructed a precise, 3D map of the activity in a mouse’s brain, detailing 84,000 neurons and more than 500 million synapses.

A new book by the neuroscientist Leor Zmigrod explores the connections between brain biology and political beliefs.

Specific brain cells known as layer 5 pyramidal neurons play a vital role in how our brains process information. Research by ...

Researchers used proteomics to map synaptic proteins in two types of pyramidal neurons, IT and PT, highlighting differences that may explain their vulnerabilities to autism and schizophrenia.

Research by the team of Prof. Joris de Wit (VIB-KU Leuven) and colleagues highlights the differences between two types of these brain cells —intratelencephalic (IT) neurons and pyramidal tract ...
