The Significance of the Neocortex
What sets humans apart is their neocortex, as suggested by neurobiologists. This outer brain layer, abundant in neurons, enables abstract thinking, artistic creation, and complex language use. Dr. Mareike Albert and an international team from the Center for Regenerative Therapies Dresden (CRTD) at TUD Dresden University of Technology have pinpointed a novel factor that likely contributed to neocortex expansion in humans. The findings were published in the EMBO Journal.
The Unique Neocortex Structure
The neocortex, resembling a walnut with its folded outer layer, plays a crucial role in higher cognitive functions. Dr. Albert explains, "The neocortex represents the latest evolutionary development in the brain. While all mammals possess a neocortex, its size and complexity vary. Unlike mice, human and primate neocortices exhibit folds, enhancing surface area and accommodating a greater number of neurons essential for intricate cognitive processes."
The convolutions in the human brain increase the neo

In Beaubourg, Brancusi’s “The Sleeping Muse” makes a name for itself
The fine bridge of the nose emerges from the oval of the face, the eyebrows flare out to disappear in the hair pulled into a bun. The Sleeping Muse is, with the series of Kiss, one of the best-known sculptures by Constantin Brancusi (1876-1957), this glory of modern art to which the Center Pompidou is devoting a major retrospective from March 27 to 1is July, in Paris.
On the other hand, we know nothing, or almost nothing, about Baroness Renée Irana Frachon, who inspired this masterpiece and, moreover, offered it to the Parisian museum. “It’s insane that not a single line has been written about this woman who was Brancusi’s friend for fifty years and was generous with the French state,” wonders Vincent Guiot, who has been striving for four years to extrac

Slováčková therefore does not hide the fact that she is thinking about their future together. “I’m thinking about getting married, but the question is whether my partner is thinking about it too,” admitted the singer Fast.
She usually likes to deviate from convention and is willing to take a bold step when it comes to engagement. “I already told him myself that if he doesn’t ask me, I will ask him! This is a leap year, so the girls might as well do it.” Slováčková confided.
At the moment, however, he isn’t pushing for anything, he wants to resolve everything first. “I don’t think that’s on the agenda right now. We have a lot of other things to tidy up and settle before we jump into marriage.” explained the singer, who is currently undergoing intensive chemotherapy.
However, he already knows where he would like to celebrate the wedding. She fell in love with the magical cabin where she draws energy after chemotherapy treatments. “Thank this cabin for some much-needed peace. Yes, and I somehow told myself that if I could ever have a wedding, my biggest wish would be to have it right here, which I don’t even know if that’s possible.” Slováčková opened up about it some time ago.
Anička Slováčková will celebrate Christmas with her boyfriend. She made her a big promise (12/2023):

The “new green canopy” gives the tree “new life,” and this can be seen best from a specific place and angle.
