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

According to the study, the slow waves make the neocortex, the location of long-term memory, especially receptive to information. The findings could help to optimize the treatment approaches that ...

Studies have identified various types of neurons stacked in multiple layers across the neocortex, but without a clear picture of how these neurons interact to produce a specific movement at the ...

Inhibitory circuits in the neocortex used to be so simple. Although it's true that the neocortex has a mystifying assortment of inhibitory interneurons 1, most of the fast synaptic connections ...
