of the six
layers of human cortical
brain tissue.
Similar to the
human brain, the fly
brain, which is about the size
of a grain
of sand, is encased in the hard shell
of its exoskeleton and cushioned by a
layer of fluid that allows the
brain to slosh around on impact.
To repair damage to the outer
layers of the
brain (the cortex), they have to migrate some distance, especially in the large
human brain.

human brain is aware that the outside
layer, or cortex,
of the
brain is folded in an intricate pattern
of «hills,» called gyri, and «valleys,» called sulci.
In mice and
humans alike, the cerebral cortex — the outermost
layer of brain tissue associated with high - level functions such as memory and decision - making — starts out as a spherical sheet
of tissue made up
of only neural stem cells.
An inquiry into the roots
of human amnesia has shown how deep structures in the
brain may interact with perceptual pathways in outer
brain layers to transform sensory stimuli into memories
The
human brain is very different from the
brain of a lamprey, but in both species the neocortex — the outer
layers of the
brain — is divided into two mirror - image hemispheres.
To solve the knowledge problem, they used what are called deep neural networks — in this case two 13 -
layer - deep networks that consist
of millions
of connections, akin to neural connections in the
human brain.
They used the forebrain, the first mini-
brain with the six
layers of brain cell types found in the
human cortex, for the current study on Zika.
Working with lab - grown
human stem cells, scientists found that the virus selectively infected cells forming the
brain's cortex, the thin outer
layer of folded gray matter.
In 2010, Kriegstein's lab discovered a new type
of neural stem cell in the
human brain, which they dubbed outer radial glia (oRGs) because these cells reside farther away from the nurturing ventricles, in an outer
layer of the subventricular zone (oSVZ).

meshwork is analogous to the process
of frontal lobe development in the
