Studies of brain injuries and electrical stimulation seemed to bear this out. Damaging the Broca’s area, for instance, ...

Recent advances in neuroimaging and molecular analyses have considerably enriched our understanding of cetacean brain anatomy and the evolutionary pressures shaping its distinctive features. Cetaceans ...

These researchers had already found that nearly 70% of newborn baboons, like human babies, had early asymmetry in the planum temporale(PT)area of the brain. The PT, which is also a key area for ...

An MIT-based team has developed a technology pipeline that creates whole-organ, high-quality images of human brains from the gross morphological level to subcellular components. The technique enables ...

The way the brain’s shape changes as it ages could help to paint the picture of its overall health and offer early warning signs for dementia—years before typical symptoms emerge. Brain scan analysis ...

The planum temporale area in the left hemisphere (shown in red), an area essential for language in humans, is larger than that in the right hemisphere (shown in green) in the majority of baboons. Only ...
