Researchers in Japan built a miniature human brain circuit using fused stem-cell–derived organoids, allowing them to watch ...

To study how a key chemical neuromodulator affects signaling in the brain's cortex, Garrett Neske, PhD, has received a three-year, $300,000 grant from the Whitehall Foundation, a nonprofit ...

When doctors review brain scans, each detail of the picture—each pixel or voxel—must be painstakingly labeled. The cerebral cortex, hippocampus, ventricles, and other structures all need to be marked ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: Scientists showed that it’s possible to reproduce an entire cerebral cortex inside one of the world’s fastest computers. The model represents the ...

An intense international effort to improve the resolution of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for studying the human brain has culminated in an ultra-high resolution 7 Tesla scanner that records up to ...

Creating a virtual brain may sound like a science-fiction nightmare, but for neuroscientists in Japan and at Seattle’s Allen Institute, it’s a big step toward a long-held dream. They say their ...

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.
