The scientists then demonstrated how patterned cortical organoids can be used to study brain disorders. In achondroplasia patients, the temporal lobe—an area of the cortex—forms incorrectly. These ...

Researchers have created the largest synaptic-resolution, 3D reconstruction of a piece of human brain to date, showing in vivid detail each cell and its web of neural connections in a piece of human ...

The cerebral cortex, the outermost layer of the brain, is the central driver of various human capabilities, including decision-making, perception, language and memory. Understanding how the morphology ...

Using more than 1.4 petabytes of electron microscopy (EM) imaging data, researchers have generated a nanoscale-resolution reconstruction of a millimeter-scale fragment of human cerebral cortex, ...

In a recent study published in JAMA Network Open, researchers explored how structural and functional aspects of the brain, as seen through neuroimaging, differ between individuals with high exposure ...

In a recent study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, researchers explore how live and recorded music stimulates the brain, with live music found to induce stronger and ...

A cubic millimeter of brain tissue may not sound like much. But considering that tiny square contains 57,000 cells, 230 millimeters of blood vessels, and 150 million synapses, all amounting to 1,400 ...
