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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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

Disrupting left superior frontal sulcus selectively impaired perceptual but not value-based decisions, revealing segregated ...

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 ...

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 ...
