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 ...

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

Can the brain keep working when its architecture changes? Researchers at the University of Geneva (UNIGE) have discovered ...

The cerebral cortex is the largest part of a mammal's brain, and by some measures the most important. In humans in particular, it's where most things happen-like perception, thinking, memory storage ...

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

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

Scientists have discovered that the adolescent brain does more than prune old connections. During the teen years, it actively ...

A study on canine brain networks reveals that during mammalian brain evolution, the role of the cingulate cortex, a bilateral structure located deep in the cerebral cortex, was partly taken over by ...

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 ...
