The cerebrum, especially the cerebral cortex, has long been thought to be the important part of our brain. However, the ...

Researchers examined anatomy of neurons from humans, mice and fruit flies. They discovered that the cellular structure of the brain is at a critical point, poised between two phases. New insights ...

The scientists identified cortical networks associated with the human medial temporal lobe that were unknown to previous memory research. Credit: Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain ...

The default mode network (DMN) is a set of interconnected brain regions known to be most active when humans are awake but not engaged in physical activities, such as relaxing, resting or daydreaming.

The placenta and the hormones it produces may have played a crucial role in the evolution of the human brain, while also ...

Scientists achieved “a milestone” by charting the activity and structure of 200,000 cells in a mouse brain and their 523 million connections. Skip to content Skip to site index ...

It is known that different brain functions are anchored in different areas and structures of the brain. For example, we know that certain areas of the cerebral cortex are responsible for perception of ...

No technology allows for imaging whole human brain anatomy at subcellular resolution without first slicing it because it is very thick (it’s 3,000 times the volume of a mouse brain) and opaque.

Researchers at theHSE Centre for Language and Brain hypothesised that language lateralisation may have something to do with the anatomy of the corpus callosum, the largest commissural tract in the ...
