"By fusing organoids that produce distinct morphogens and precisely controlling the timing and quantity of morphogen-producing cells in these fusions, polar cortical assembloids (PolCAs) serve as an ...

The cortex is at the apex of information processing in the mammalian brain. Interestingly, however, beside olfactory inputs, no fast, precise information reaches the cortex without a thalamic transfer ...

A new framework redefines spinal cord injury as a systems-level disruption of the brain–body–environment loop, requiring ...

Exposure of human cortical interneurons to hypoxia leads to decreased migration, a process that is likely altered in preterm infants and contributes to the increased risk for neurodevelopmental ...

Focal cortical dysplasia (FCD) type 2 is a congenital malformation of the cerebral cortex that is often associated with difficult-to-treat epilepsy. In the affected areas, nerve cells and their layer ...

Researchers have identified a specific brain pathway that appears to sustain chronic pain long after injuries heal, reframing it as a circuit-level brain disorder. The caudal granular insular ...

MRI scans reveal frequent action gamers show measurable differences in brain structure, which may help explain links found in earlier studies between gaming, attention, and visuospatial skills. Study: ...
