Marmoset study finds prefrontal cortex has two distinct types of connections to other cortical areas
A comprehensive map of the marmoset brain by RIKEN neuroscientists has revealed that two types of connections link the prefrontal cortex to other cortical areas. This finding could provide insight for ...
Elevated levels of a highly abundant chemical messenger in the brain are linked to a heightened sensitivity to making ...
Reduced prefrontal cortex and sympathetic nervous system activity correlate with fatigue after aHSCT
Long-term fatigue and cognitive dysfunction affects 35% of allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (aHSCT) survivors, suggesting a dysfunctional prefrontal cortex. In this study, we ...
New research by Georgetown scientists shows how the brain rewires itself to automate learned tasks. The findings challenge a long-held understanding of how humans master complex skills, suggesting ...
