Assumptions that may seem self-evident are not always accurate when it comes to the evolution of vertebrate brains.

This article reports a useful set of findings on how electrophysiological response properties of neurons correlate with their position in the brain. The evidence currently remains incomplete, with ...

Here are five brain facts that are now brain fiction.

Cortical columns can be considered elementary processors, with neurons as basic devices and synapses as the memory. Functionally, cortical columns form a hierarchical network with connections going ...
