Most higher-order processing by the human and mammalian brain is thought to occur in the neocortex, a structure on the surface of the brain. Now researchers have found cells similar to those of the ...

According to a recent study an early relative of mammals already possessed an extraordinarily expanded brain with a neocortex-like structure. According to a recent study an early relative of mammals ...

The neocortex is a layered structure of the brain in which neurons are arranged parallel to each other. This organization is critical for healthy brain function. A team of researchers from Charité - ...

In the neocortex of the brain, excitatory neuronal cells that arise from the same progenitor cell express patterned combinations of clustered protocadherin proteins (cPCDHs). The pattern of cPCDHs ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract A cardinal feature of the neocortex is the progressive increase of the spatial receptive fields along the cortical hierarchy. Recently, ...

What makes us human? According to neurobiologists it is our neocortex. This outer layer of the brain is rich in neurons and lets us do abstract thinking, create art, and speak complex languages. An ...

Contrary to previous assumptions, nerve cells in the human neocortex are wired differently than in mice. Those are the findings of a new study conducted by Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin and ...

REDWOOD CITY, Calif. – Nov. 15, 2017 — Inputs to the brain from the eyes, ears, and skin are continually changing as we move. Yet our brain perceives objects in the world as stable. How the brain ...

Neuroscience reveals our brain as three distinct systems: reptilian, limbic, and neocortex, each influencing decisions. The reptilian brain governs instincts, the limbic system manages emotions, and ...
