Deficits in mediodorsal thalamus-dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (MDT-DLPFC) resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) connectivity and prefrontal sleep spindles have been reported ...

A neuroimaging study of adolescents with ADHD found age-related increases in glutamate levels in the medial prefrontal cortex ...

Over the course of their lives, animals form associations between sensory stimuli and predicted threats or rewards. These associations can, in turn, shape the behaviors of animals, prompting them to ...

Risk assessment behaviors are necessary for gathering risk information and guiding decision-making. Risky decision-making heightens during adolescence, possibly as a result of low risk awareness and ...

Neuronal sequences in the medial prefrontal cortex of the brain encode critical information associated with a procedural rule. These sequences can be explored and leveraged as novel biomarkers for ...

Enhancing prefrontal cortex (PFC) cognitive functions requires identifying suitable exercises that increase cerebral blood flow. A recent study using functional near-infrared spectroscopy found that ...

When a writer comes up with a striking metaphor, when an engineer solves a tricky problem by combining seemingly unrelated tools, or when a child invents the rules of a new game, what happens in the ...

Many horse owners think the existence of the prefrontal cortex is a major controversy in equine science. It’s not. It’s just an area that’s riddled with misinformation. Curiously, most people—horsey ...

An international team of scientists led by the University of Surrey has discovered that a form of safe, painless, and non-invasive brain stimulation could help people who are at risk of falling behind ...

The cerebral cortex is your brain’s outermost layer. It has a wrinkled appearance due to the grooves and folds that increase its surface area. Here, we look at the anatomy of the cerebral cortex and ...
