The sound of a fire alarm tells us to get out quickly to not get hurt, while the sight of a gas station sign can signal a ...

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 ...

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, ...

This paper represents a valuable contribution to our understanding of how LFP oscillations and beta band coordination between the hippocampus and prefrontal cortex of rats may relate to learning.

An international team of scientists has uncovered neural mechanisms used in planning. Its results suggest that an interplay between the brain's prefrontal cortex and hippocampus allows us to imagine ...

Much criminal behavior derives from logical, if not laudable, sources. A wonderful example of this was seen in the old Bob Newhart television show. Newhart, playing a clinical psychologist, leans ...

A new study in Neuron reveals that the brain’s executive center sends highly specialized, context-dependent instructions to the visual system rather than a generic broadcast signal. The findings ...

An international team of scientists led by the University of Surrey has discovered that a form of safe, painless, and non-invasive brain stimulation could help people who are at risk of falling behind ...

New Delhi | Damage to the 'medial' region of the prefrontal cortex -- the brain region that helps with planning and achieving goals -- could make one more impulsive and likely to be influenced by ...
