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 ...

Scientists found our brain may organize behavior by activity patterns rather than fixed regions, reshaping how brain control ...

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 ...

Vision shapes behavior and, a new study by MIT neuroscientists finds, behavior and internal states shape vision. The research, published Nov. 25 in Neuron, finds in mice that via specific circuits, ...

A new study suggests that a promising noninvasive brain stimulation technique may not function exactly as psychiatrists had ...

Neuropathic pain, caused by injury or disease of the somatosensory nervous system, is a major clinical challenge and often ...

Facial emotion representations expand from sensory cortex to prefrontal regions across development, suggesting that the prefrontal cortex matures with development to enable a full understanding of ...

Recent neuroscience studies using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) have enhanced our understanding of how sleep is related to learning and memory. A study just reported in the journal ...

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 ...
