Neuroscientists acting as cartographers of the human mind have devised the most comprehensive map ever made of the cerebral cortex, the part of the brain responsible for higher cognitive functions ...

Why is the cerebral cortex important in processing language and thought? Revise the structure and function of the cerebral cortex.

The human brain ages less than thought and in layers – at least in the area of the cerebral cortex responsible for the sense of touch. Researchers at DZNE, the University of Magdeburg, and the Hertie ...

A recent study published in Nature Communications demonstrated how droplet-based three-dimensional (3D) printing could help fabricate cerebral cortex tissues comprising layer-specific neurons ...

Enhancing prefrontal cortex (PFC) cognitive functions requires identifying suitable exercises that increase cerebral blood flow. A recent study using functional near-infrared spectroscopy found that ...
