New research shows that the prefrontal cortex doesn’t simply broadcast generic commands to sensory regions—it sends finely tailored signals that shape how the brain processes vision depending on ...

Vision shapes behavior, and a new study by MIT neuroscientists finds behavior and internal states shape vision. The research, ...

Contrary to what is often believed, our vision does not passively capture the world like a camera. Neuroscientists have ...

David A. Leopold is in the Section on Cognitive Neurophysiology and Imaging, National Institute of Mental Health, Bethseda, Maryland 20814, USA. In the 1930s, the neurosurgeon Wilder Penfield ...

For decades, neuroscientists have been trying to pinpoint the neural underpinnings of behavior and decision-making. Past ...

In a recent study published in the Nature Journal, researchers performed precision functional mapping (PFM) and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to map the functional organization of the ...

MIT researchers discovered that the prefrontal cortex doesn’t just send generic control signals—it tailors its messages to ...

A team of engineers and neuroscientists has demonstrated for the first time that human brain organoids implanted in mice have established functional connectivity to the animals' cortex and responded ...

The prefrontal cortex region of the human brain is responsible for a range of complex functions from decision-making to certain types of memory. When something goes wrong in this part of the brain, it ...

The population of the developing brain with cells, is a mass-migratory event that proceeds with algorithmic precision. A recent publication uncovered a few of the molecular players that define this ...
