Neighborly help in the brain: Cerebral cortex networks rapidly reorganize to compensate for lost neurons by Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz edited by Gaby Clark, reviewed by Robert Egan ...

They show that neuronal networks in the cerebral cortex reorganize within a short period of time, with other nerve cells taking over the tasks of the lost neurons.

Cortex articles from across Nature Portfolio The cortex refers to the outermost layer of the cerebral hemispheres or cerebrum. The cerebral cortex in humans is folded into gyri and consists of six ...

New research shows that the brain’s cortex can rapidly reorganize itself after losing neurons, allowing other nerve cells to take over lost functions.

Researchers at Leipzig University's Carl Ludwig Institute have discovered that in the cerebral cortex, synaptic signal ...

This important study presents a new method for longitudinally tracking cells in two-photon imaging data that addresses the specific challenges of imaging neurons in the developing cortex. It provides ...
