Studies of brain injuries and electrical stimulation seemed to bear this out. Damaging the Broca’s area, for instance, interfered with speech, and stimulating specific tissues could lead to specific ...

Researchers have developed the first activity-based maps of the prefrontal cortex, challenging traditional descriptions of ...

For more than a century, maps of the brain have been based on how brain tissue looks under the microscope.

A recent study published in Nature Communications demonstrated how droplet-based three-dimensional (3D) printing could help fabricate cerebral cortex tissues comprising layer-specific neurons ...

Droplets containing human iPSC-derived neural progenitors were 3D-printed to form 2-layer cerebral cortical tissue, which was cultured before implantation into a mouse brain slice. DNPs: deep-layer ...

A large-scale investigation of carnivoran brain diversity, providing a unified description of folding patterns, their relationship to behaviour and ecology, and the foundation for future ...

Our thoughts are specified by our knowledge and plans, yet our cognition can also be fast and flexible in handling new ...

Enhancing prefrontal cortex (PFC) cognitive functions requires identifying suitable exercises that increase cerebral blood flow. A recent study using functional near-infrared spectroscopy found that ...

The risk factors for ASD include a significant genetic component with hundreds of risk genes involved. Molecular profiling studies have observed consistent epigenetic and transcriptomic dysregulation ...
