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

Obtaining prefrontal cortex biopsies during deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery in living patients does not increase the risk of adverse events or cognitive decline compared to standard DBS ...

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 ...

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 ...

Obtaining prefrontal cortex biopsies during deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery in living patients does not increase the risk of adverse events or cognitive decline compared to standard DBS ...

Facial emotion representations expand from sensory cortex to prefrontal regions across development, suggesting that the prefrontal cortex matures with development to enable a full understanding of ...

MIT scientists found that what we see is strongly influenced by how alert or active we are. Parts of the brain responsible for planning and control send specialized signals that either boost or quiet ...

Neuronal sequences in the medial prefrontal cortex of the brain encode critical information associated with a procedural rule. These sequences can be explored and leveraged as novel biomarkers for ...
