Researchers at Leipzig University's Carl Ludwig Institute have discovered that in the cerebral cortex, synaptic signal transmission between brain cells functions very reliably even at low ...

Determining the genetic and epigenetic factors that influence brain folding is the objective of the latest study co-led by the Neurogenesis and Cortical Expansion laboratory, directed by researcher ...

Can the brain function when its architecture is altered? A team from the University of Geneva (UNIGE) demonstrates that neurons located in the wrong place can nevertheless ensure normal ...

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 ...

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 ...

Obstructive sleep apnea disrupts brain function in several ways, including low oxygen levels, interrupted sleep, and vascular risk. Several regions throughout the brain may shrink, and the ...
