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

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

Attention can feel like a fragile thing, especially when your brain struggles to sort signal from noise. Every second, your ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

A new study has identified the brain connectivity patterns that lead to cognitive difficulties in patients with schizophrenia, suggesting potential targets for therapeutic intervention in early ...

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

Researchers outline a roadmap for applying transcranial focused ultrasound, a noninvasive technique for stimulating the brain ...
