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.

Deep layers are associated with top-down information, whereas middle layers are associated with bottom-up information. Only laminar fMRI is sensitive enough to detect the deeper layers of the brain.

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 ...

For decades, the lymphatic system that removes waste and transports white blood cells around the body was considered absent from the mammalian brain. Then in 2015, groups in Finland and the United ...

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 ...

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 ...
