Researchers in Japan built a miniature human brain circuit using fused stem-cell–derived organoids, allowing them to watch ...

Researchers have discovered that the dorsal premotor cortex serves a 'meta-learning' function, overseeing and regulating physical movements. Once believed to be limited to movement planning, this ...

This important study combines optogenetic manipulations and wide-field imaging to show that the retrosplenial cortex controls behavioral responses to whisker deflection in a context-dependent manner.

Physical gel models and numerical simulations have been created to study ferret brain gyrification and cortical malformations, while comparisons with human phenotypes aim to link genetics and brain ...

Ever wake at night needing a drink of water and then find your way to the kitchen in the dark without stubbing your toe? Researchers at the University of California, San Diego say they have identified ...

An image from the research shows axons from neurons in the ACA (red) and ORB (green) innervating the visual cortex, targeting discrete layers. Vision shapes behavior and, a new study by MIT ...

The cerebral cortex is the largest part of a mammal's brain, and by some measures the most important. In humans in particular, it's where most things happen-like perception, thinking, memory storage ...
