Researchers have discovered that mutations in the FOXJ3 gene act as a "master switch" failure, disrupting how the brain ...

The cerebral cortex, the brain's outermost region responsible for higher cognitive functions, depends on a highly ordered, layered structure. Its proper development requires newly generated neurons to ...

Malformations of cortical development are commonly associated with epilepsy and intellectual disabilities. Polymicrogyria is one of the most frequent cortical malformations but remains largely ...

As the use of artificial intelligence (AI) surges, securing power has emerged as a critical challenge. Amid this, a novel ...

Researchers in Japan built a miniature human brain circuit using fused stem-cell–derived organoids, allowing them to watch the thalamus and cortex interact in real time. They found that the thalamus ...
