Scientists map 5 dramatic phases of brain structure across your life
Across a typical lifetime, the human brain does not simply grow, peak, and decline. It passes through five sweeping ...
Understanding the shape or morphology of neurons and mapping the tree-like branches via which they receive signals from other cells (i.e., dendrites) is a long-standing objective of neuroscience ...
The brain has a geography that matters. The cerebral cortex (the grey outer layer of the brain) is folded into our skulls in such a way as to reduce the wiring length of our neurons and improve ...
