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 ...

Researchers discover that the RNA surveillance system NMD and the protein UPF2 are essential for guiding neuronal migration and forming the brain's layered cortex.

A team of researchers has created the first 'multiome' atlas of brain cell development in the human cerebral cortex across six broad developmental time points from fetal development into adulthood, ...

A Japanese research team has successfully reproduced the human neural circuit in vitro using multi-region miniature organs known as assembloids, which are derived from induced pluripotent stem (iPS) ...

One of the defining features of humans is our brain's remarkable capacity for language, planning, memory, creativity, and more. These abilities stem not just from our large brain size, but also from ...
