For more than a century, maps of the brain have been based on how brain tissue looks under the microscope. These anatomical ...

The prefrontal cortex in the marmoset has two distinct types of connections to other cortical areas A comprehensive map of the marmoset brain by RIKEN neuroscientists has revealed that two types of ...

Scientists found our brain may organize behavior by activity patterns rather than fixed regions, reshaping how brain control ...

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 ...

Vision shapes behavior and, a new study by MIT neuroscientists finds, behavior and internal states shape vision. The research, published Nov. 25 in Neuron, finds in mice that via specific circuits, ...

Mild exercise like yoga improves mood and executive function, but the neural mechanisms were unclear. Using pupillometry, researchers found that pupil size changes during very light exercise predict ...

For more than a century, maps of the brain have been based on how brain tissue looks under the microscope.

Studies of brain injuries and electrical stimulation seemed to bear this out. Damaging the Broca’s area, for instance, interfered with speech, and stimulating specific tissues could lead to specific ...
