A new study shows that the cerebral cortex predicts the future by detecting novel stimuli and forming short-term memory ...

The functioning of the brain relies on the precise organization of neuronal connections. In an article published in Developmental Cell, scientists show how neurons establish their connections ...

This pattern of electrical activity is seen in the six layers of tissue that cover the outside of mammals' brains, known as ...

Cerebral hemispheres The cerebrum's outer layer, it is split into two hemispheres and is highly folded. These two hemispheres make up the cerebral cortex. This controls most of our senses ...
