Following stroke, patients have a hard time performing coordinated movements. Transcranial ultrasound stimulation (TUS) is ...

The cerebral cortex of the mammalian brain controls a wide range of flexible and motivated behaviours and is extensively expanded in species with more advanced cognitive functions (including humans).

Much as a pilot might practice maneuvers in a flight simulator, scientists might soon be able to perform experiments on a realistic simulation of the mouse brain. In a new study, Stanford Medicine ...

Cathepsin B (CatB), a protease in endosomal and lysosomal compartments, plays a key role in neuronal protein processing and degradation, but its function in brain development remains unclear. In this ...

Researchers from the University of New Hampshire looked at the developmental process of the cerebral cortex—the outermost layer of the brain—and examined how neurons, or nerve cells, refine their ...

One of the defining features of humans is our brain's remarkable capacity for language, planning, memory, creativity, and more. These abilities stem not just from our large brain size, but also from ...
