The brainstem is a fundamental component of the central nervous system, yet it is typically excluded from in vivo human brain mapping efforts, precluding a complete understanding of how the brainstem influences cortical function. In this study, we used high-resolution 7-Tesla functional magnetic reso...
Although intense research effort is seeking to address which brain areas fire and connect to each other to produce complex behaviors in a few living primates, little is known about their evolution, and which brain areas or facets of cognition were favored by natural selection. By developing statis...
The meaning of CORTICAL RHYTHM is the apparently inherent rhythmic electrical oscillations taking place in the brain in the absence of evident external stimulation.

any correlation between synapses and receptors is helpful to speculate about the functional meaning of receptor densities. A further problem for this attempt is the methodical difficulty in measuring “true” synaptic numbers (DeFelipe et al., 1999; Huttenlocher and de Courten, 1987; Merchan-Perez...
