The cerebral cortex, the brain's outermost region responsible for higher cognitive functions, depends on a highly ordered, layered structure. Its proper development requires newly generated neurons to ...

Researchers found that nonsense-mediated mRNA decay, via the UPF2 protein, is crucial for neuronal migration and cortical ...

Researchers discover that the RNA surveillance system NMD and the protein UPF2 are essential for guiding neuronal migration and forming the brain's layered cortex.

The cerebral cortex, the brain's outermost region responsible for higher cognitive functions, depends on a highly ordered ...

Previous studies have reported that the cerebellum, which is most well-known for coordinating the body’s movements, is also involved in language. However, scientists still don’t know whether the ...

Determining the genetic and epigenetic factors that influence brain folding is the objective of the latest study co-led by the Neurogenesis and Cortical Expansion laboratory, directed by researcher ...

The human brain ages less than thought and in layers – at least in the area of the cerebral cortex responsible for the sense of touch. Researchers at DZNE, the University of Magdeburg, and the Hertie ...

Researchers at the University of Seville have analyzed alterations in the cerebral cortex in people suffering from psychosis.

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 ...

Researchers at the University of Seville have analyzed alterations in the cerebral cortex in people suffering from psychosis. Their findings show that psychosis does not follow a single trajectory, ...
