A team of researchers has created the first 'multiome' atlas of brain cell development in the human cerebral cortex across six broad developmental time points from fetal development into adulthood, ...

How do brain regions communicate? Researchers introduce a new optogenetic method to target long-distance circuits in ...

Researchers from the University of New Hampshire looked at the developmental process of the cerebral cortex—the outermost layer of the brain—and examined how neurons, or nerve cells, refine their ...

New neuroscience research identifies Glutamine Synthetase as the key enzyme driving postnatal brain maturation and neuronal ...

The correct development of the brain cortex is an essential process for the acquisition of correct cognitive skills. Reelin, a key extracellular protein in neuronal migration and synaptic plasticity, ...

Neurologist Christopher Walsh discovered genes that direct cerebral cortex development. We asked him what they reveal about intelligence, psychiatric disorders, and the nature of being human ...

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 and ...

Understanding how the brain works requires more than studying single regions in isolation. The cerebral cortex depends on long-distance connections that link specialized areas into coordinated ...

An analysis of the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development study data showed that children accepted by their parents and more ...

Spastic hemiplegia is a type of spastic cerebral palsy, where the part of the brain controlling movement is damaged. The condition can affect children before birth, during labor, or in the first few ...
