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 ...

Much criminal behavior derives from logical, if not laudable, sources. A wonderful example of this was seen in the old Bob Newhart television show. Newhart, playing a clinical psychologist, leans ...

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 ...

The prefrontal cortex isn’t just brain real estate — it’s the control hub for decisions, emotions, and creativity. From resisting impulses to solving problems, this region quietly shapes who we are.

As I gradually cross the threshold from adolescence to adulthood, I often hear my peers joke that their prefrontal cortex is developing when they find themselves happily going to bed early on a Friday ...

A study on rats found that exposure to perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS) altered gene expression in the nucleus accumbens, hippocampus, and prefrontal cortex regions of the brain of their offspring.
