When a writer comes up with a striking metaphor, when an engineer solves a tricky problem by combining seemingly unrelated ...

Researchers identify the rostral prefrontal cortex as the essential bridge between spontaneous and executive brain networks ...

A Paris Brain Institute study has identified the rostral prefrontal cortex as a key 'bridge' between the brain’s spontaneous and goal-oriented networks, crucial for creativity. Using patients with ...

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 ...

A neuroscience Ph.D. student posted videos online to raise awareness about the brain region’s development. Netizens started ...

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 ...

Drug addiction carries an extremely high risk of relapse, as cravings can be reignited by minor stimuli even long after one has stopped using. Previously, this phenomenon was attributed to a decline ...

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 ...

A sub-region within the prefrontal cortex, which helps with higher-level functions such as goal-oriented behaviour and decision-making, could be responsible for why some people don't practice what ...

Prefrontal cortex biopsies taken for research purposes during deep brain stimulation (DBS) procedures appeared to be safe, new research has suggested. Investigators found no significant differences in ...
