Picture a concert hall wired with thousands of microphones, but a third of them are switched off. The cables are run, the ...

A cellular-resolution map of prenatal brain development in Down syndrome reveals disrupted neuron production timing and altered cell types.

This is mostly composed of the neocortex, which is newer in our evolutionary history. The human subcortex (figure 1, brown/beige), underneath the neocortex, has not changed much in the last 500 ...

Scientists at UCLA have created one of the first cellular-resolution molecular maps detailing how Down syndrome alters human ...

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 ...

What gives rise to human consciousness? Are some parts of the brain more important than others? Scientists began tackling these questions in more depth about 35 years ago. Researchers have made ...

UCLA researchers created a single-cell map of the developing human neocortex in Down syndrome during a critical window of ...

Injury to the neocortex may make you think your hand is not yours, fail to notice things on one side of your visual field, or become more impulsive. People born without the cerebellum, or the front of ...
