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 ...

Vision shapes behavior, and a new study by MIT neuroscientists finds behavior and internal states shape vision. The research, published in Neuron, finds in mice that, via specific circuits, the ...

The claim that the brain, and particularly the frontal lobe, finishes developing at 25 is far less solid than social media ...

Obtaining prefrontal cortex biopsies during deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery in living patients does not increase the risk of adverse events or cognitive decline compared to standard DBS ...

Recently, I reviewed how our “caveperson brains” react to the pandemic. But is there anything we can do about it? While we can’t do much to control our caveperson brain, there is another part of our ...

Attention disorders such as ADHD involve a breakdown in our ability to separate signal from noise. The brain is constantly ...

Eye contact and body language are critical in social interaction, but exactly how the brain uses this information in order to inform behavior in real time is not well understood. By combining ...

From impulsive purchases, rash break ups and poor fashion choices Gen Z have been blaming their behaviour on their brain not being fully developed. The frontal lobe has once again been trending on ...

An image from the research shows axons from neurons in the ACA (red) and ORB (green) innervating the visual cortex, targeting discrete layers. Vision shapes behavior and, a new study by MIT ...
