How does the wiring of the brain confer cognitive capacity?

The choroid plexus (CP) is a secretory tissue found in each of the brain ventricles.

The brain is vulnerable to many disorders that can strike at every stage of life.

Circadian, or 24-hour, rhythms control almost all biological systems in our bodies with sleep-wake cycles and body temperature control the best known examples.

Attention is an incompletely understood, complex process that requires precise coordination of brain rhythms within the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC).

How do we seamlessly transition between reading a novel and reminiscing our last vacation before the pandemic?

Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a disease that attacks the nerves in the brain, making it difficult for the brain to send signals to the rest of the body. MS symptoms are extremely variable, and can include difficulty walking, fatigue, pain, and cognitive issues such as problems with concentration, memory and word-finding.

The human brain is made up of neural circuits that are thought to underlie all brain function.

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is characterized by difficulties with communication, social deficits as well as repetitive behaviors and interests.

The primary motor cortex in the brain is responsible for voluntary movement. It has also been proposed to be one of the sites for motor memory formation and storage.
