#NEUROSCIENCE - Neuroscientists find cortical columns in brain not uniform, challenging large-scale simulation models - Despite a long-held scientific belief that cortex is built up by repeatedly occurring elementary units called cortical columns, a new study by neuroscientists has found that the structure of the brain’s cortical columns can largely deviate within individual animals, and even within a specific cortical area.
