In a bid to better understand, and potentially treat, a host of conditions that affect early cognition, neurodevelopment, and the brain later in life, investigators at Johns Hopkins Medicine and ...

The human brain's advanced cognitive capabilities are often attributed to our recently evolved neocortex. Comparison of human and rodent brains shows that the human cortex is thicker, contains more ...

The image shows how different elements of the genome are used during the birth of neurons in the mouse (left), monkey (center) and human (right) brain. Each tiny dot is a single cell in the developing ...

Scientists have created a super-map of the brain containing 30 million cells to trace the prenatal origins of diseases.

"Neurogenesis in the neocortex of adult primates," Science, 286:548-52, Oct. 15, 1999). At last month's American Association for the Advancement of Science meeting in Washington, D.C., Yale University ...

Scientists have identified previously unknown neural modules in the brain that control movement and adapt during skill learning. Their findings challenge long-held ideas about how the brain organizes ...
