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 ...

A neuroimaging study of adolescents with ADHD found age-related increases in glutamate levels in the medial prefrontal cortex ...

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 ...

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

A new study published in the journal Neurobiology of Disease has found that an overabundance of inhibitory connections in a ...

Substance use disorder (SUD) has been linked with social impairments. The social cognitive dysfunctions can further increase the risk of the development of SUD or relapse. Therefore, understanding the ...

Neuronal sequences in the medial prefrontal cortex of the brain encode critical information associated with a procedural rule. These sequences can be explored and leveraged as novel biomarkers for ...

A traditionally overlooked type of RNA plays an important role in promoting resilience to depression-but only in females. According to a new study led by the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, ...

Scientists have discovered a tiny group of neurons in an ancient brain region that acts like a built-in focus filter, helping ...
