New research by Georgetown scientists shows how the brain rewires itself to automate learned tasks. The findings challenge a long-held understanding of how humans master complex skills, suggesting ...

Your brain may be able to juggle more than you think. A small Georgetown study suggests we can, over time, train one part of ...

New research reveals a mental workaround that is activated through repetition and experience.

Scientists have long said we can’t multitask. A new study says we can - ‘This is unlocking a whole new set of questions,’ one ...

For years, experts said multitasking was a myth. A new Georgetown study just proved that with the right training, your brain ...

A new study reveals that extensive training rewires the brain, offloading automated skills to the temporal cortex to allow true multitasking.

Scientists discovered a brain circuit that helps the mind switch strategies by reducing neural noise in the prefrontal cortex ...

In a study published in Cell on July 10, researchers reported the first comprehensive study of whole-brain projectomes of the macaque prefrontal cortex (PFC) at the single-neuron level and revealed ...

A new study has found that stronger communication between the cerebellum and the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex—a part of the brain associated with higher-order thinking—is linked to reduced severity ...

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 ...

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 ...
