Scientists found our brain may organize behavior by activity patterns rather than fixed regions, reshaping how brain control ...

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 ...

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

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

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 ...

New research challenges the century-old practice of mapping the brain based on how tissue looks under a microscope. By analyzing electrical signals from thousands of neurons in mice, scientists ...

Researchers have developed the first activity-based maps of the prefrontal cortex, challenging traditional descriptions of ...

Studies of brain injuries and electrical stimulation seemed to bear this out. Damaging the Broca’s area, for instance, interfered with speech, and stimulating specific tissues could lead to specific ...
