A type of stem cell key to higher thinking in humans has been discovered by scientists. Researchers have identified a family of stem cells that may give birth to neurons responsible for abstract thought and creativity. The cells were found in embryonic mice, where they formed the upper layers of the brain's cerebral cortex. In humans, the same brain region permits abstract thinking, planning for the future and solving problems. Previously ...Friday, 10 August 2012
Stem Cell Linked to Higher Thinking Identified

The cells were found in embryonic mice, where they formed the upper layers of the brain's cerebral cortex.
