What makes the human brain unique? A Yale study unlocks new insights into genetic changes that shaped our evolution.

The cerebral cortex is the largest part of a mammal's brain, and by some measures, the most important. In humans in ...

A new study shows that the cerebral cortex acts as a "memory machine," constantly detecting novel stimuli to refine its predictions of the future.

It is now well accepted that schizophrenia and AD are two unrelated brain pathologies that have little phenomenological expressions in common, but their diversity could provide the starting point ...

It also implicates new brain-cell types schizophrenia researchers have not previously focused on. And it has unearthed brain-cell types, in key brain structures, that are common to psychiatric ...

Researchers discovered how genetic switches shaped human brain evolution by fine-tuning shared gene expression.

Scientists don’t fully understand what causes schizophrenia with catatonia. But researchers have found that people with these symptoms have unusual activity in parts of the brain that control ...
