Researchers identify a specialized "satellite" language network in the cerebellum, offering new insights into how the brain processes communication and potential treatments for aphasia.

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 - ...

The neocortex makes up the greater area of the cerebral cortex. It is divided into different regions (the frontal, parietal, occipital, and temporal lobes) by the bone structure of the skull above it.

The function of the human brain is exceptional, driving all aspects of our thoughts and creativity. Yet the part of the human brain—the neocortex—responsible for such cognitive functions has a similar ...

The neocortex comprises the largest part of the cerebral cortex and is the outermost layer that covers the structures of the brain. Comprised of four main lobes with specific functions, the cortex ...

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. Researchers have uncovered two key ...

In a new scientific paper titled, “A Framework for Intelligence and Cortical Function Based on Grid Cells in the Neocortex,” the Numenta researchers propose a broad framework for understanding what ...

AFTER a series of experiments which demonstrated that an impairment of maze learning resulting from the ablation of cortical tissue was proportional to the extent of the lesion and not dependent on ...

Researchers have combined two high profile, large-scale datasets to produce something completely new -- a first draft model of the rules guiding neuron-to-neuron connectivity of a whole mouse ...
