Researchers launch Neuropixels Opto, integrating electrophysiology and optogenetics on a single hair-thin probe.

Determining the genetic and epigenetic factors that influence brain folding is the objective of the latest study co-led by the Neurogenesis and Cortical Expansion laboratory, directed by researcher ...

The cerebral cortex, the outermost layer of the brain, is the central driver of various human capabilities, including decision-making, perception, language and memory. Understanding how the morphology ...

Epigenetic aging clocks use DNA methylation patterns to measure biological age and predict health risks across human tissues.

Here’s one of the more unsettling schemes to recently emerge from Silicon Valley: human clones grown without a conscious ...

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.

The distinct aging rates of neural progenitor cells and Wnt signaling dictate mammalian cortical layer proportions.

Cerebral amyloid angiopathy is a major cause of hemorrhagic stroke, a frequent contributor to age-related cognitive impairment, and a key component in adverse responses to beta-amyloid (Aβ) ...

The cerebral cortex is the largest part of a mammal's brain, and by some measures the most important. In humans in particular, it's where most things happen-like perception, thinking, memory storage ...
