Turtles are able to grasp that the same object seen from different angles is not a different object, an important trait for ...

Scientists at the UNC School of Medicine have mapped the surface of the cortex of the young human brain with unprecedented resolution, revealing the development of key functional regions from two ...

The cerebral cortex is the largest part of a mammal's brain, and by some measures the most important. In humans in particular, it's where most things happen-like perception, thinking, memory storage ...

Researchers at the University of Seville have analyzed alterations in the cerebral cortex in people suffering from psychosis.
