Overview

The cerebral cortex is the outer layer of neural tissue in the brain, responsible for higher-order functions including sensory processing, motor control, cognition, and consciousness. Research published in International Physiology Journal addresses diverse aspects of cortical structure and function across multiple scales and contexts. Studies have examined the microanatomy of thalamic radiations that connect subcortical structures to cortical regions, investigated how visual cortex function responds to optical aberrations such as regular astigmatism using functional magnetic resonance imaging, and explored oligodendrocyte development and the role of Wnt signaling pathways in cortical white matter formation. Additional work has addressed cortical involvement in neurodevelopmental conditions including autism spectrum disorder, examined potential effects of radiofrequency radiation exposure on brain tissue in animal models, and investigated neurotransmitter dynamics in subcortical regions that modulate cortical activity. Clinical research has explored factors influencing outcomes following traumatic brain injury affecting cortical structures, while other studies have examined molecular mechanisms underlying neurodegenerative conditions and potential interventions for sensory processing disorders. This body of work reflects the cortical system's central importance in neurophysiology, spanning from cellular and molecular mechanisms to systems-level function and clinical applications.
