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, ...

Researchers identify mutation that causes excessive folding in human brain's wrinkly cerebral cortex, resulting in diminished cognitive function. The outer layer of the human brain or cerebral cortex, ...

This work shows that epigenetic marks are a key mechanism in the instructions that genes receive to express themselves and generate folds Borrell's team had already developed a protomap that ...

What Is the Frontal Lobe? Your frontal lobe is one of four different sections (also called lobes) of your brain. The four lobes in your brain are called the frontal, parietal, temporal, and occipital ...
