Johns Hopkins and other BRAIN Initiative Cell Atlas Network (BICAN) researchers have enhanced a cellular road map of how the ...

In a bid to better understand, and potentially treat, a host of conditions that affect early cognition, neurodevelopment and the brain later in life, investigators at Johns Hopkins Medicine and ...

Today, researchers describe major advances in the understanding of the development of the neocortex —layer-by-layer and cell-by-cell—thanks to a ...

Researchers uncovered 214,516 unique isoforms in the developing neocortex -- over 70% of which have not been previously studied. A team led by researchers at UCLA and the University of Pennsylvania ...

Contrary to previous assumptions, nerve cells in the human neocortex are wired differently than in mice. The study found that human neurons communicate in one direction, while in mice, signals tend to ...
