Researchers identify mutation that causes excessive folding in human brain's wrinkly cerebral cortex, resulting in diminished cognitive function. The outer layer of the human brain or cerebral cortex, ...

Diversity of Radial Glia cells in the neonatal ferret cerebral cortex, labeled with green fluorescent protein and seen within the transparent brain. The development of the cerebral cortex largely ...

Scientists have discovered exactly how the human brain gets its crinkly, wrinkly appearance in utero. It turns out that the huge explosion in the number of brain cells in the brain's outer layer, ...

What does your brain have in common with a scrunched-up piece of paper? That’s no riddle: it’s the latest insight into why your brain has all those folds. It turns out that it’s all down to the ...

The outer layer of the human brain or cerebral cortex, characterized by its distinctive gyri and sulci (those distinctive ridges and furrows), controls cognitive and executive function, from conscious ...
