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 ...

Why Mapping Cerebellum–Prefrontal Cortex Circuitry Matters Autism-like behaviors are modulated by brain circuitry rooted in the cerebellum. Posted Jul 31, 2020 ...

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 ...

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 : ...

They planted hair-sized electrodes in the mice's brains to analyze the level of interaction between the amygdala and prefrontal cortex both before and after being exposed to stress.
