A new study shows that the cerebral cortex predicts the future by detecting novel stimuli and forming short-term memory ...

It has been estimated that the typical human cortex contains some 30 billion total neurons. If we make the conservative guess that each neuron has 1,000 synapses, that would put the total synaptic ...

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 ...

New research explores the many ways our sensory experiences overlaps, teaching us new ways the brain perceives ...

Previous research found that the response of single brain cells in the prefrontal cortex during decision-making is multifaceted and complex. For example, a neuron in the prefrontal cortex may only ...

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

A study has found that the cortex acts like a "memory machine", encoding new experiences and predicting the near future, ...

I am interested to explore developmental mechanisms that generate temporal and spatial boundaries within the human cerebral cortex. I am also interested to understand how these processes might go awry ...
