The phylogenetically most recent part of the cerebral cortex, the neocortex (also called isocortex), is differentiated into six horizontal layers; the more ancient part of the cerebral cortex ...

This important study provides convincing evidence that developing neurons in the neocortex regulate glial cell development. The data demonstrates that the transcription factor FOXG1 negatively ...

Conserved and divergent gene regulatory programs of the mammalian neocortex Gene regulatory programs in the primary motor cortex of human, macaque, marmoset and mouse were investigated with single ...

Unlike other regions of the brain–such as the neocortex, which deals with the executive functions of the brain and learns quickly—the basal ganglia takes much longer to absorb new experiences ...

Targeted memory reactivation improved memory performance of easy-to-learn words, but had no effect of difficult-to-learn words, which suggests a critical role of word learning difficulty in sleep ...
