Thanks to a mouse watching clips from “The Matrix,” scientists have created the largest functional map of a brain to date – a ...

A scientific team has used millions of human cells to build neural circuits in the laboratory that sense painful stimuli and ...

Information gathered in just one cubic millimeter of a rodent’s cerebral cortex will help unravel the complex neural networks ...

High-resolution MRI scans were used to measure the size and shape of different parts of the brain, including the cerebral cortex (the outer layer of the brain responsible for thinking, memory, ...

Before primary motor cortex (M1) develops its motor functions, it functions like a somatosensory area. Here, by recording from neurons in the forelimb representation of M1 in postnatal day (P) 8–12 ...

To address the question whether neuronal identity and/or neuronal activity determines the cell fate of developing cortical neurons, we performed in vivo and in vitro experiments in early postnatal ...
