A Japanese research team has successfully reproduced the human neural circuit in vitro using multi-region miniature organs ...

New research shows that the prefrontal cortex doesn’t simply broadcast generic commands to sensory regions—it sends finely tailored signals that shape how the brain processes vision depending on ...

Sleep deprivation effects harm brain health, impairing memory, attention, and emotion. Chronic loss risks neurodegeneration ...

A new study shows that balanced neural inhibition in the hippocampus is crucial for recognition memory, the ability to remember objects we’ve recently encountered.

The prefrontal cortex -- an area of the brain responsible for executive functions, such as planning, working memory, and impulse control -- has long been implicated in the pathophysiology of ...

A new MIT study illustrates how areas within the brain’s executive control center tailor their messages in specific circuits with other brain regions to influence them with information about behavior ...

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 ...
