There are three meninges layers that completely envelop your brain and spinal cord, which make up your central nervous system. These layers are the dura mater, arachnoid mater, and pia mater.

The researchers from the Department of Developmental Neurobiology, Nikolas Nikolaou and Martin Meyer, used the visual system of zebrafish as a model system to provide novel insights into the role of ...

The brain’s cortex, which handles higher cognitive functions in mammals, is split into six distinct physical layers marked by varying cell types, sizes and connections—and new research ...

Google has developed a 3-D online map charting one cubic millimeter of the human brain. Using over a million gigabytes of data, it shows 4,000 incoming axons connecting to a single neuron.

New research from the Department of Developmental Neurobiology at the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology & Neuroscience, King's College London, sheds light into the role of layers in the brain ...

Scientists have discovered a while new layer of tissues in the brain that acts as a protective barrier and also as a platform from which immune cells monitor the brain for infection and inflammation.

Throughout the brain's cortex, neurons are arranged in six distinctive layers, which can be readily seen with a microscope. A team of MIT neuroscientists has now found that these layers also show ...
