Studies of brain injuries and electrical stimulation seemed to bear this out. Damaging the Broca’s area, for instance, ...

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

Researchers have developed the first activity-based maps of the prefrontal cortex, challenging traditional descriptions of ...

Researchers in Japan built a miniature human brain circuit using fused stem-cell–derived organoids, allowing them to watch the thalamus and cortex interact in real time. They found that the thalamus ...

Researchers have discovered that the dorsal premotor cortex serves a 'meta-learning' function, overseeing and regulating physical movements. Once believed to be limited to movement planning, this ...

Prefrontal cortex biopsies taken for research purposes during deep brain stimulation (DBS) procedures appeared to be safe, new research has suggested. Investigators found no significant differences in ...

By Vijay Kumar Malesu New mouse data reveal that ageing neurons struggle to clear synaptic proteins, shifting the burden to ...
