Experiments mapping individual neurons in the sensorimotor cortex of mice show that sharp transitions in functional properties can define cortical regions.

Researchers of the Human Brain Project (HBP) have identified seven new areas of the human insular cortex, a region of the brain that is involved in a wide variety of functions, including ...

This functional MRI image of a human brain illustrates the connection between the insula (smaller brain image) and the dorsal lateral prefrontal cortex (larger brain image) as a result of cognitive ...

According to Dr. Karolina Armonaitė, a neuroscientist from Kaunas University of Technology in Lithuania, a more precise understanding of what happens in different areas of the cerebral cortex during ...

Research on the lamprey brain has enabled scientists to push the birth of the cortex back in time by some 300 million years to over 500 million years ago, providing new insights into brain evolution.

Beijing Normal University-led researchers have identified specific high-order thalamic nuclei that drive human conscious perception by activating the prefrontal cortex. Their findings enhance ...

"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 ...

A high-frequency brain signal in the frontal cortex is linked to OCD compulsions. Targeted deep brain stimulation rapidly reduced symptoms in severe cases.

All newly detected areas are now available as 3D probability maps in the Julich Brain Atlas, and can be openly accessed via the HBP’s EBRAINS infrastructure. Their findings, published in NeuroImage, ...
