A part of the brain called the pallium is responsible for many complex functions. In mammals, the pallium is thought to be where the neocortex forms, and gives rise to the cerebral cortex and ...

The morphogenesis of brain folding patterns across species is studied by physical gel models, simulations, and a quantitative morphometric analysis.

Researchers have developed a new approach for describing the shape of the cerebral cortex, and provide evidence that cortices across mammalian species resemble a universal, fractal pattern.

In a study published in Developmental Cell, a team led by Prof. Robert K. Naumann from the Shenzhen Institutes of Advanced Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), and researchers from BGI ...

The six anatomical layers of the mammalian brain cortex show distinct patterns of electrical activity which are consistent throughout the entire cortex and across several animal species, including ...

The cerebral cortex is the largest part of a mammal's brain, and by some measures the most important. In humans in particular, it's where most things happen-like perception, thinking, memory storage ...

"Complex processes are going on in the brain when we sleep," says Dr Karolina Armonaitė, a neuroscientist from Kaunas University of Technology, Lithuania. According to her, a more precise ...
