The lobes and landmarks of the brain surface provide a useful map for understanding human neuroanatomy from a lateral view. The cerebral cortex is commonly divided into the frontal, parietal, temporal ...

A new hypothesis links the brain’s crossed wiring to ancient visual maps, proposing that later sensory and motor pathways built on an inherited arrangement.

A decades-old picture of how the brain builds its most complex structure turned out to be wrong in a fundamental way: the cerebral cortex doesn't grow from one flexible stem cell population that ...

"I collapsed from hypoxic encephalopathy due to cardiac arrest, and two years have passed without regaining consciousness...

A new MRI-based index shows that blood flow closely follows cell density across the layered human cortex and captures aspects ...

Researchers have developed a new approach for describing the shape of the cerebral cortex, and provide evidence that cortices across mammalian species resemble a universal, fractal pattern. With ...

A comprehensive scoping review finds that the optimal angle for TMS coils follows individual cortical geometry rather than a ...
