The anterior prefrontal cortex (aPFC), or Brodmann area 10, is one of the least well understood regions of the human brain. Work with non-human primates has provided almost no indications as to ...

Using rare brain recordings from patients, scientists found that the thalamus helps trigger visual awareness. The study ...

I included a full-page diagram of this split-brain model in The Athlete's Way, which was published on June 12, 2007. ... prefrontal cortex activity in these genetically engineered mice, ...

AgRP neurons do not have strong direct connections to the cortex. But they do project to other brain regions that connect to the prefrontal cortex. Horvath and his colleagues found that the neurons in ...

Research that is taking a closer look at activity in the thalamus—a region long considered a relay station for the brain and ...

A study published in the journal Neuropsychologia has shown that religious fundamentalism is, in part, the result of a functional impairment in a brain region known as the prefrontal cortex. The ...

With our prefrontal cortex, we can not only envision the future, we can also plan for it, ... the brain’s wiring diagram does not assume an adult pattern until the third decade of life.

Dopamine Modulation of Prefrontal Cortex Activity Is Manifold and Operates at Multiple Temporal and Spatial Scales. Cell Reports , 2019; 27 (1): 99 DOI: 10.1016/j.celrep.2019.03.012 Cite This Page : ...

Those images show that the brain activity in the prefrontal cortex was higher in lucid dreamers. “Our results indicate that self-reflection in everyday life is more pronounced in persons who can ...
