Researchers identified two brain networks involved in word retrieval -- the cognitive process of accessing words we need to speak. A semantic network processes meaning in middle/inferior frontal gyri, ...

Folds in the cerebral cortex in mammals are believed to be indispensable for higher brain functions but the mechanisms underlying cortical folding remain unknown. By using the latest genome editing ...

The outer layer of the human brain or cerebral cortex, characterized by its distinctive gyri and sulci (those distinctive ridges and furrows), controls cognitive and executive function, from conscious ...

The width and thickness of the mammalian cortex determine how tightly it has to scrunch up to fit inside the skull, forming the characteristic folds and gyri that wend back and forth across the ...

The human brain is highly developed compared to other animals, thanks to which humans are believed to have acquired special abilities. One of the important factors considered to contribute to the ...
