The small grooves on the surface of our brain may play a key role in our reasoning. A recent study reveals that their depth ...

A new study reveals how the brain responds to mental exhaustion, identifying two key regions—the right insula and the ...

Anatomical and molecular abnormalities of excitatory neurons in the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) are found in schizophrenia. We hypothesized that brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF ...

The resulting classification accuracies are found promising that proves the effectiveness of the prefrontal fNIRS signal to be effective in movement-related brain functionality analysis. This research ...

Previous studies suggest that the ventrolateral prefrontal cortex (VLPFC) is involved in modulating empathy. However, it is unclear whether VLPFC activation while an individual empathizes with others ...

The prefrontal cortex functions in cognitive control (e.g. planning, attention, problem-solving, error-monitoring, decision-making, social cognition, and working memory).
