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 ...

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 ...

Attention disorders such as ADHD involve a breakdown in our ability to separate signal from noise. The brain is constantly ...

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 ...

MIT researchers tested the “Spatial Computing” theory and found that brain waves organize neurons into flexible, ...

The greatest enemy of anyone below 25 is the prefrontal cortex. Indeed, it is the devil on your shoulder that whispers in your ear, telling you to smoke that weed the night before your economics ...

Vision shapes behavior, and a new study by MIT neuroscientists finds behavior and internal states shape vision. The research, published in Neuron, finds in mice that, via specific circuits, the ...
