The cerebral cortex is the largest part of a mammal's ... A new study published today in the journal Neuron takes a big step toward proving that hypothesis. The paper's lead author is Yuriy ...

Researchers from the University of New Hampshire looked at the developmental process of the cerebral cortex—the outermost ...

For the gene expression study, led by the Allen Institute’s Hongkui Zeng, researchers performed single-cell RNA sequencing on more than 20,000 cells, most of which were neurons, in the visual cortex ...

As in larger brains, mouse visual cortex neurons with the same function cluster in columns. For over 50 years, it has been known that in the cerebral cortex of many mammals, neurons with the same ...

National Institutes of Health researchers have mapped how individual neurons in the primary somatosensory cortex receive ...

The research involved studying movement control in mice using a combination of optogenetics (controlling neural activity with light), high-speed cortical imaging, and machine learning-based movement ...

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 ...

But in the piriform cortex, a brain region associated with olfaction, they also found a neuron that increases firing in response to both the smell of licorice and the images of a piece of licorice ...

Pioneering studies suggested that motor information in the cortex is coded through the combined ... around onset of forelimb extension of each neuron and of all MI or VL cells over 44 trials.

As an undergraduate, I worked with Dr. Jeffrey Macklis to investigate genetic controls that diversify projection neuron subtype identity within precise regions of the mammalian cortex. I then worked ...
