A hidden four-layer structure in the brain’s key memory hub has been revealed, reshaping how scientists understand learning ...

Scientists uncovered a surprising four-layer structure hidden inside the hippocampal CA1 region, one of the brain’s major centers for memory, navigation, and emotion. Using advanced RNA imaging ...

Researchers at the Mark and Mary Stevens Neuroimaging and Informatics Institute (Stevens INI) at the Keck School of Medicine ...

In biology, we learn that the brain is surrounded by three layers: the dura, arachnoid and pia mater. Well, that was true until recently. Researchers from the University of Copenhagen and University ...

Scientists suggest strange swirls across the outer layer of the brain might be used to link different parts of it together and help process information faster. When you purchase through links on our ...

Neuroscientists want to understand how individual neurons encode information that allows us to distinguish objects, like telling a leaf apart from a rock. But they have struggled to build ...

A groundbreaking study led by UCLA Health has unveiled the most detailed view of the complex biological mechanisms underlying autism, showing the first link between genetic risk of the disorder to ...

Severe forms of autism could be linked to overgrowth of the brain's outer layer that starts while a baby is in the womb, a new study finds. Toddlers with autism have cerebral cortexes -- often ...
