Graphesthesia, also called graphagnosia, is the ability to recognize symbols when they’re traced on the skin. “Graph” means writing and “esthesia” means sensing. This ability is a measure of cortical ...

Neural circuits associated with three cortical regions in cognitive generalization with different manifestations from different species. (A) Emotionrelated brain regions mainly project to PFC and OFC; ...

Researchers have developed a new approach for describing the shape of the cerebral cortex, and provide evidence that cortices across mammalian species resemble a universal, fractal pattern.

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 ...

Visual changes can often be a symptom of a neurological condition, such as stroke, migraine, or an infection. In some cases, changes may be permanent or progressive, but in many cases, prompt ...

"Complex processes are going on in the brain when we sleep," says Dr Karolina Armonaitė, a neuroscientist from Kaunas University of Technology, Lithuania. According to her, a more precise ...
