The cerebral cortex is densely packed with different nerve cells that enable us to perceive, think and act. Yet how these cell types arise while the brain develops is still not fully understood.
A new study demonstrates that neural stem cells in the developing cerebral cortex branch into parallel lineages early in ...
Scientists have characterized the folding of the cerebellar cortex using data from a sample of 56 mammalian species, allowing them to study the diversity and evolution of cerebellar folding and its ...
Brain stem cells cortical development works differently than scientists believed for 60 years: two parallel, fate-committed lineages build the cerebral cortex simultaneously from the first neurons -- ...
For decades, neuroscientists have thought about communication between the cerebral cortex and the basal ganglia in a fairly ...
Throughout the brain's cortex, neurons are arranged in six distinctive layers, which can be readily seen with a microscope. A team of MIT neuroscientists has now found that these layers also show ...
