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 major analysis of brain scans found that people with anxiety disorders have noticeably lower levels of choline, a nutrient ...

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 ...

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 ...

In a study published in Cell on July 10, a team from the Center for Excellence in Brain Science and Intelligence Technology (CEBSIT) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, along with a team from the HUST ...

Historically, neuroscientists and evolutionary anthropologists assumed that modern humans' disproportionately large frontal lobes and the explosive growth of our prefrontal cortex millennia ago were ...

The rostral prefrontal cortex, located ahead of the frontal lobe, lies precisely at the intersection of the DMN and the ECN. But until now, its role in coordinating these networks has remained unclear ...

A new study published in Neuropsychopharmacology sheds light on how heroin exposure alters brain function related to social interaction and drug craving. Researchers found that a specific group of ...

Drinking alcohol results in an alcohol use disorder (AUD) when consumption becomes excessive and dependence develops. Both stress and anxiety can contribute to the development of an AUD. Chronic ...

“Reboot your prefrontal cortex,” “train your prefrontal cortex,” and even, “why you should make prefrontal cortex development a dating criterion.” These are among the ideas circulating on Chinese ...
