A study sheds light on how networks in the brain detect new information, offering insight into disorders like schizophrenia.

A new study shows that the cerebral cortex acts as a "memory machine," constantly detecting novel stimuli to refine its predictions of the future.

The cerebral cortex is the largest part of a mammal's brain, and by some measures the most important. In humans in particular ...

Researchers studied the mechanisms that learn to suppress instinctive fear responses. The study has implications beyond the ...

The GABA (γ-aminobutyric acid)-ergic interneurons of the cerebral cortex are a diverse population of cells. Their diversity is manifested in every aspect of their phenotype, as evidenced by their ...
