The cerebral cortex is the largest part of a mammal's brain, and by some measures the most important. In humans in particular, it's where most things happen-like perception, thinking, memory storage ...

A new study shows that the cerebral cortex acts as a "memory machine," constantly detecting novel stimuli to refine its predictions of the future.

A study has found that the cortex acts like a "memory machine", encoding new experiences and predicting the near future, ...

Researchers identified two brain areas in mice that helped the animals learn to suppress their instinctive fears of predators ...

A study sheds light on how networks in the brain detect new information, offering insight into disorders like schizophrenia. The cerebral cortex is the largest part of a mammal's brain ...

It works by switching off nociceptors in the peripheral nervous system, and therefore preventing pain signals getting to the ...
