Abstract: The cerebral cortex is folded as gyri and sulci, which provide the foundation to unveil anatomo-functional relationship of brain. Previous studies have extensively demonstrated that gyri and ...

Abstract: It is largely unknown whether there is functional role difference between cortical gyral and sulcal regions. Recent advancements in neuroimaging studies demonstrate clear difference of ...

The brain is the “control center” of the body. Together with the spinal cord, it makes up the central nervous system. Various parts of the brain are responsible for movement, breathing, and other ...

Researchers have found that greenspace exposure is associated with widespread patterns of structural brain development during early adolescence, which in turn are associated with better academic and ...

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, ...

Summary: A new study uncovered how epigenetic marks and the Cux2 protein influence brain folding. The study reveals that the epigenetic mark H3K27ac and Cux2 are key to forming the cerebral cortex’s ...

Multiple sclerosis (MS) and anxiety often occur together. If you live with MS and anxiety, there may be ways you can reduce the impact of this challenging combination. MS is an autoimmune disease in ...
