Neuroscientists have produced the largest wiring diagram and functional map of a mammalian brain to date using tissue from a part of a mouse’s cerebral cortex involved in vision, an achievement that ...

The research, led by Fan Yi from Zhejiang University in Hangzhou, China, is one of the largest efforts to pinpoint genetic factors influencing brain decline. Based on analyses of brain scans and ...

Researchers say they have mapped more than 200,000 cells in a cubic millimeter of brain tissue and have traced how they're ...

The motor cortex is the region of the cerebral cortex including the primary motor, premotor and supplementary motor cortices that is responsible for planning and executing actions. Visual ...

MA Illustration at Camberwell College of Arts is a broad, inclusive and experimental course that enables individual practitioners to develop sustainable creative models that respond and contribute to ...

To do this, the central nervous system relies on billions of neurons (nerve cells). The cerebrum (front of brain) comprises gray matter (the cerebral cortex) and white matter at its center. The ...

Before primary motor cortex (M1) develops its motor functions, it functions like a somatosensory area. Here, by recording from neurons in the forelimb representation of M1 in postnatal day (P) 8–12 ...

To address the question whether neuronal identity and/or neuronal activity determines the cell fate of developing cortical neurons, we performed in vivo and in vitro experiments in early postnatal ...
