New experiments by Christian Wood and colleagues suggest that the marmoset brain area 46 (A46) in the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex is key to a functional network that regulates positive and negative ...

Researchers identify the rostral prefrontal cortex as the essential bridge between spontaneous and executive brain networks that drives creativity.

Healthy aging induces parallel changes in brain functional activity and structural morphology, yet the interplay between these changes remains unclear. Prof. Yuhui Du's team at the College of Computer ...

If you want to know more about how the human brain matures and changes over time, you can now consult the first comprehensive atlas that maps brain organization from infancy all the way through to ...

Somewhere in your skull right now, there is no math department. No region of the brain exists solely to process equations, ...

It is a central question in neuroscience to understand how different regions of the brain interact, how strongly they "talk" to each other. Researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in ...

In recent years, breakthroughs in imaging have changed our ability to study the brain, providing a variety of modalities with varying resolution, penetration, and sensitivity. In neuropharmacology, ...

For over 150 years, neuroscientists have known that a small region in the left frontal lobe—Broca's area—plays a crucial role in speech production. Named after French physician Paul Broca, who ...

Different psychedelics create very similar brain pattern activity, giving scientists new insight into potential mental health treatments.
