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

Prefrontal cortex biopsies taken for research purposes during deep brain stimulation (DBS) procedures appeared to be safe, new research has suggested. Investigators found no significant differences in ...

Activity in the brain's "ventromedial prefrontal cortex" differs between people who assume the worst in social situations and those who don't, a study finds. When you purchase through links on our ...

Obtaining prefrontal cortex biopsies during deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery in living patients does not increase the risk of adverse events or cognitive decline compared to standard DBS ...

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 ...

Understanding how the brain learns and applies rules is the key to unraveling the neural basis of flexible behavior. A new study from the University of Toyama, Japan, reveals that our ability to ...
