Overall, the findings of this recent study confirm that adolescence is a crucial period for the development of prefrontal cortex functions and related cognitive abilities. It particularly unveils ...

New Delhi | Damage to the 'medial' region of the prefrontal cortex -- the brain region that helps with planning and achieving goals -- could make one more impulsive and likely to be influenced by ...

Inhibiting locus coeruleus input to the medial prefrontal cortex in mice impaired task performance, affected the tuning of single cortical neurons and disrupted population dynamics and encoding ...

Researchers have investigated the impact of 10-min very light exercise on pupil size and prefrontal function. Their findings provide the first evidence that changes in pupil size during exercise can ...

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 ...

An international team of scientists led by the University of Surrey has discovered that a form of safe, painless, and non-invasive brain stimulation could help people who are at risk of falling behind ...

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 ...

Researchers at the University of California, Riverside identified the brainstem’s locus coeruleus as crucial for cognitive ...
