If they were, some animals with large brains such as orcas and elephants would likely be smarter than humans. They also knew that across human evolution, the neocortex—the largest part of the ...
The phylogenetically most recent part of the cerebral cortex, the neocortex (also called isocortex), is differentiated into six horizontal layers; the more ancient part of the cerebral cortex ...
This important study provides convincing evidence that developing neurons in the neocortex regulate glial cell development. The data demonstrates that the transcription factor FOXG1 negatively ...
Researchers have joined forces to give a boost to spatial memory by creating a unique experimental setup that combines non-invasive deep-brain stimulation, virtual reality training, and fMRI imaging.
Although much international research has focused on the study of factors in the rejuvenation and regeneration of peripheral tissues (skin, muscle, liver and heart), this study now delves into the ...
New research shows how the Eurasian common shrew (Sorex araneus) changes its brain and bodily size throughout the year. The study, published online in eLife, reveals how changes in gene expression ...
