CRISPR construct to genetically ablate the GABA transporter GAT3 in the mouse visual cortex, with effects on population-level neuronal activity. This work is important, as it sheds light on how GAT3 ...

Glial cells support neurological structures, function, cognition, behaviours, physical skills, and motor coordination.

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

The cerebrum, especially the cerebral cortex, has long been thought to be the important part of our brain. However, the cerbrum contains less than 20 percent of the neurons in our brain. Eighty ...

Beijing Normal University-led researchers have identified specific high-order thalamic nuclei that drive human conscious ...

Imagine a swarm of fireflies, flickering lights on and off in the nighttime space. How does the human brain process and ...

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.

We show that label-free MPM is able to effectively visualize microscopic scale of cortical neurons, six-layer cortical lamination, and functional cortex that correlates with the corresponding stained ...

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?
