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 ...

Researchers identify mutation that causes excessive folding in human brain's wrinkly cerebral cortex, resulting in diminished cognitive function. The outer layer of the human brain or cerebral cortex, ...

The liver, the heart, the gonads, and a host of other human organs evolved long before the cerebral cortex reached its current level of power, control, and influence over the human organism. So did, ...

For the first time, University of Chicago researchers, using a newly developed technique, report that a molecular mechanism involved in formation of limbs and other body structures is also used to ...

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 ...

Scientists used high-resolution MRI data to create a valuable new resource for the study of human brain development at key moments in utero and after birth. Scientists at the UNC School of Medicine ...

The cerebral cortex of your brain is the outermost layer. It's the part of the brain that appears wrinkled because it has a lot of folds. Your cerebral cortex is divided into two hemispheres. Each ...
