An image from the research shows axons from neurons in the ACA (red) and ORB (green) innervating the visual cortex, targeting discrete layers. Vision shapes behavior and, a new study by MIT ...

Many horse owners think the existence of the prefrontal cortex is a major controversy in equine science. It’s not. It’s just an area that’s riddled with misinformation. Curiously, most people—horsey ...

Researchers have investigated the impact of 10-min very light exercise on pupil size and prefrontal function. Their findings provide the first evidence that changes in pupil size during exercise can ...

Vision shapes behavior and, a new study by MIT neuroscientists finds, behavior and internal states shape vision. The research, published Nov. 25 in Neuron, finds in mice that via specific circuits, ...
