The cerebral cortex is the largest part of a mammal's brain, and by some measures the most important. In humans in particular, it's where most things happen-like perception, thinking, memory storage ...

A study has found that the cortex acts like a "memory machine", encoding new experiences and predicting the near future, ...

A study sheds light on how networks in the brain detect new information, offering insight into disorders like schizophrenia.

A new study shows that the cerebral cortex acts as a "memory machine," constantly detecting novel stimuli to refine its predictions of the future.

The illustration represents how sounds are encoded in the cerebral cortex, with neurons (at right) using "echoing" activity to track auditory stimuli to change and improve the brain's predictions of ...
