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.

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 ...

A new study has revealed that neural inhibition and balanced neural activity in a specific area of the brain is required for ...

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 ...

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 ...

The prefrontal cortex region of the human brain is responsible for a range of complex functions from decision-making to certain types of memory. When something goes wrong in this part of the brain, it ...

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 ...

Music can be such a revelation. Dancing around, you feel the sweet sensation.–"Into the Groove" Madonna (116 BPM) Over a decade ago, neuroscientists in Japan, led by the University of Tsukuba's ...
