Cell transplantation is being explored as a treatment for various neurodegenerative disorders, but, to date, it is unclear whether cells that are introduced into the adult brain can integrate into ...

In Fragile X syndrome, sensory signals from the outside world are integrated differently, causing them to be underrepresented by cortical pyramidal neurons in the brain, according to a new study. In ...

Researchers used a powerful MRI scanner to monitor people with multiple sclerosis and found a link between the total volume of cortical lesions and neurological disability. Share on Pinterest ...

The cerebral cortex is thought to be the seat of conscious processing in the brain. Rather than being inactivated, specific cells in the cortex show higher spontaneous activity during general ...

OAK BROOK, Ill. - The development of scars, or lesions, in the brain's cortical gray matter is a powerful predictor of neurological disability for people with multiple sclerosis (MS), according to ...

The combination of cortical lesions and central vein sign in MRI increases the specificity and sensitivity for diagnosing multiple sclerosis. This study suggests that CLs and CVS, when used together, ...

Using a new approach for studying live embryonic mouse brains at single-cell resolution, researchers headed by a team at the Institute of Molecular and Clinical Ophthalmology Basel (IOB) have ...

The cerebral cortex processes sensory information via a complex network of neural connections. How are these signals modulated to refine perception? A team from the University of Geneva (UNIGE) has ...
