Deep inside your brain, the sense of touch is handled by a strip of tissue only a few millimeters thick. This area, known as the primary somatosensory cortex, processes every tactile signal that ...

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Researchers say they have uncovered key abnormalities in some of the layers of the brains of children with autism, an indication that the foundation for the problem is laid ...

Layer 6b, the deepest layer of the mammalian brain's cortex, has recently been the focus of numerous neuroscience studies. Despite the interesting findings gathered in recent years, the role of this ...
