The human brain ages less than thought and in layers – at least in the area of the cerebral cortex responsible for the sense of touch. Researchers at DZNE, the University of Magdeburg, and the Hertie ...

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 ...

Microglia are immune cells that regulate the function and activity of the nervous system. Detailed molecular and spatial studies in mice reveal that different types of neuron govern the density and ...

Throughout the brain's cortex, neurons are arranged in six distinctive layers, which can be readily seen with a microscope. A team of MIT neuroscientists has now found that these layers also show ...

As in larger brains, mouse visual cortex neurons with the same function cluster in columns. For over 50 years, it has been known that in the cerebral cortex of many mammals, neurons with the same ...

The cerebral cortex is thought to be the seat of conscious processing in the brain. Rather than being inactivated, specific cells in the cortex show higher spontaneous activity during general ...

Physical gel models and numerical simulations have been created to study ferret brain gyrification and cortical malformations, while comparisons with human phenotypes aim to link genetics and brain ...
