Perhaps our most defining characteristic as a species, the six-layered human cortex, hosts billions of neural connections that bestow Homo sapiens with higher-order thinking. But how does this ...
Throughout the brain's cortex, neurons are arranged in six distinctive layers, which can be readily seen with a microscope. A team of MIT neuroscientists has now found that these layers also show ...
This article and associated images are based on a poster originally authored by Zhong Yu, Parker Ellingson, Denise Sullivan, Ben Streeter, Austin Passaro, Stacie Chvatal and Daniel Millard and ...
“It is an outstanding example of circuit analysis and a real experimental tour de force,” said neuroscientist Massimo Scanziani of the University of California, San Diego, who was not involved in the ...
A layer deep in the cerebral cortex, which is the innermost layer of the mammalian brain, has recently been found to play a role in the regulation of brain states associated with wakefulness and ...
New research challenges the century-old practice of mapping the brain based on how tissue looks under a microscope. By analyzing electrical signals from thousands of neurons in mice, scientists ...
