Over the course of human evolution, our brains expanded massively. One of the areas that ballooned over the past few million years is the cerebral cortex, the wrinkly outer layer of the brain. It ...

The functioning of the brain relies on the precise organization of neuronal connections. In an article published in Developmental Cell, scientists show how neurons establish their connections ...

Previous studies have shown that the cortex, the outermost layer of the brain, is responsible for thermal sensations. However, how the cortex determines whether something is hot or cold is not ...

The P4 ferret brain is nearly lissencephalic and bright white. The cortex undergoes complex folding during the first 4 wk of postnatal life. In the fifth and sixth weeks of life, as kits are ...
