(Funny; we had thought that humans had prefrontal cortexes even before the era of Talk Radio.) This isn’t the first study to explore the broad question of “How Do Voters Think?” (or is it, “What Were ...

Dogs, it turns out, have about twice the number of neurons in their cerebral cortexes than what cats have, which suggests they could be about twice as intelligent. This finding was provisionally ...

One such experiment she performed involved counting the neurons in the cortexes of a cat, golden retriever and a mixed-breed small dog. The cerebral cortex of the brain is involved in many higher ...

Olfactory cortexes and the olfactory tracts are involved in sporadic Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease. We examined peripheral regions of the olfactory sensory pathway, including the olfactory mucosa ...

Severe forms of autism could be linked to overgrowth of the brain's outer layer that starts while a baby is in the womb, a new study finds. Toddlers with autism have cerebral cortexes -- often ...

Toddlers with autism have cerebral cortexes -- often referred to as "gray matter" -- that are roughly 40% larger than those of children without the developmental disorder, researchers reported ...

MIT neuroscientists recently watched the brains of 63 entrepreneurs and managers, and spotted a key difference: Entrepreneurs use their whole orbitofrontal cortexes, enabling them to be more ...

But a new technique could restore sight directly to those with visual impairment Using electrodes implanted on the surface of participants' visual cortexes, where the brain controls what we see ...
