The complexity of processes occurring in the brain is an intriguing issue not just for scientists and medical doctors, but the humanity in general. The cortex ability to perceive and analyze an enormous amount of information in an instance of time, the par ...
The high complexity of cortical convolutions in humans remains a mystery for both engineers to measure and compare it, and for biologists to understand it. We developed a method for the quantification of the cortical area allowed by the process of folding. ...
Velo-cardio-facial syndrome (VCFS), also known as 22q11.2 deletion syndrome, is a common genetic condition associated with increased risk for developing schizophrenia. Given that cortical malformations play an integral role in the pattern of neuroanatomica ...
Normal course of cortical maturation has been evidenced for many years through gray matter volume measurements and abnormal gray matter volumes have frequently been reported as a part of a pathological brain development in neurogenetic or psychiatric disor ...
Whisker movement is somatotopically represented in rodent neocortex by electrical activity in clearly defined barrels, which can be visualized in living brain slices. The functional architecture of this part of the cortex can thus be mapped in vitro with r ...
The relationships between brain activity and accompanying hemodynamic and metabolic alterations, particularly between the cerebral metabolic rate of oxygen utilization (CMR(O2)) and cerebral blood flow (CBF), are not thoroughly established. CMR(O2) is clos ...
Investigators are beginning to define the chemical circuitry of certain elements of the cerebral cortex. In this article we review some of the recent findings on the morphological distribution and cellular effects of monoamines (principally noradrenaline) ...
Development of technologies in the field of neuroimaging brought an increase interest in the quantification of cortical folding (gyrification), notably for neurogenetic and psychiatric disorders that may result from an early abnormal cortical development. ...
Distribution of the monocarboxylate transporter MCT1 has been investigated in the cortex of normal adult human brain. Similarly to the glucose transporter GLUT1 55 kDa isoform, MCT1 was found to be strongly expressed on blood vessels in all cortical layers ...
We analyse a model for the development of orientation-selective receptive fields of simple cells in a locally connected network of cortical neurons. The Hebbian learning rule that underlies the development is described by a linear differential equation. Th ...
