A neuroimaging study of adolescents with ADHD found age-related increases in glutamate levels in the medial prefrontal cortex ...

This study aimed to investigate the functionality of the prefrontal cortex in patients with unipolar depression (UD) and bipolar depression (BD) using functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) ...

A comprehensive map of the marmoset brain by RIKEN neuroscientists has revealed that two types of connections link the prefrontal cortex to other cortical areas. This finding could provide insight 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 ...

Long-term fatigue and cognitive dysfunction affects 35% of allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (aHSCT) survivors, suggesting a dysfunctional prefrontal cortex. In this study, we ...

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 ...

A circuit that runs from the prefrontal cortex near the front of the brain to a deeper brain structure called the insular cortex appears to mediate the antidepressant effects of a newer form of ...

Researchers find an ancient brainstem circuit that acts as an attention engine, offering a new direction for targeted ADHD and autism treatments.

Neurons tucked away in an ancient part of the brain control the ability to pay attention by suppressing distractions and ...

The cerebral cortex is your brain’s outermost layer. It has a wrinkled appearance due to the grooves and folds that increase its surface area. Here, we look at the anatomy of the cerebral cortex and ...
