Researchers from the University of New Hampshire looked at the developmental process of the cerebral cortex—the outermost layer of the brain—and examined how neurons, or nerve cells, refine their ...

The program specifically targets damage to the neocortex, the brain’s largest region responsible for sensory perception, motor control and decision-making. Conditions like stroke, traumatic brain ...

Scientists have identified previously unknown neural modules in the brain that control movement and adapt during skill learning. Their findings challenge long-held ideas about how the brain organizes ...
