Neurons move backward to refine their positions in the brain after birth, reshaping the six-layered neocortex responsible for ...

Inhibitory circuits in the neocortex used to be so simple. Although it's true that the neocortex has a mystifying assortment of inhibitory interneurons 1, most of the fast synaptic connections ...

A study reveals that motor control in the brain is modular and adaptable. Using optogenetics and imaging in mice, researchers ...

According to the study, the slow waves make the neocortex, the location of long-term memory, especially receptive to information. The findings could help to optimize the treatment approaches that ...

Complex housing offers varied stimulating conditions. The aim is to enhance cognitive and physical development, as well as overall wellbeing and social interaction benefits.

For nearly a century, scientists have known that different parts of the human brain's cortex control different body movements. This fundamental discovery dates to the 1930s, when neurosurgeons used ...

Studies have identified various types of neurons stacked in multiple layers across the neocortex, but without a clear picture of how these neurons interact to produce a specific movement at the level ...
