Bilateral movement was never detected in intact dogs, or in dogs that were lesioned after the motor cortex had become functional. Figure 1: Reconstructing motor systems.

The cerebral cortex, also known as gray matter, is your brain’s outermost layer and is located above the cerebrum. Learn more about its vital functions.

Each area is further divided into many smaller modules, i.e., functional neural circuits. In this project, we will investigate the structure and function of unitary functional circuits in the cerebral ...

Genetics Of Patterning The Cerebral Cortex: How Stem Cells Yield Functional Regions In 'Gray Matter' Date: October 21, 2009 Source: Salk Institute Summary: Scientists report that they have ...

Novel Mechanism That Balances Sizes Of Brain's Functional Areas Identified Date: September 13, 2007 Source: Salk Institute Summary: In the cerebral cortex, the brain's powerful central processing ...

Scientists at the UNC School of Medicine have mapped the surface of the cortex of the young human brain with unprecedented resolution, revealing the development of key functional regions from two ...

Researchers at Leipzig University's Carl Ludwig Institute have discovered that in the cerebral cortex, synaptic signal ...

"We now know that the functional connections established by the neurons in each area in the thalamus-cortex direction may also determine the decision taken by the monkey on the existence of the ...

But what is happening inside the brain when patients are put under and what does this reveal about consciousness itself?

Each hemisphere is divided into four lobes. The occipital lobe is the smallest lobe of your brain. It makes up around 12% of the surface area of the cerebral cortex. What Is the Occipital Lobe?

A new 21st century map of the human brain contains 180 distinct areas in each hemisphere, including 97 previously undiscovered territories.
