Neuroscientists use deep learning model to simulate brain topography
Damage to a part of the brain that processes visual information—the inferotemporal (IT) cortex—can be devastating, especially for adults. Those affected may lose the ability to read (a disorder known as alexia), or recognize ...

Study detects how a genetic variant modifies the brain stimulation impact on memory
The gene of the brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is associated with several processes related to memory and brain plasticity. Now, a paper reveals that it is easier to alter the cognitive activity through transcranial ...

Researchers discover genes that shape human brain surface
The surface of our brain, the cortex, is folded into an intricate pattern of bumps (gyri) and grooves (sulci). While individual differences in this pattern have been linked to brain disorders and cognitive performance, very ...

New brain hub for memory restoration identified
The mammalian brain houses a complex network of structures that support memory, and a small region called the anterior thalamus is a critical part of this system. Damage to the mammillothalamic tract (MTT)—an important ...
