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 ...

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 ...

Princeton researchers found that the brain excels at learning because it reuses modular “cognitive blocks” across many tasks. Monkeys switching between visual categorization challenges revealed that ...

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 ...

Scientists discovered a brain circuit that helps the mind switch strategies by reducing neural noise in the prefrontal cortex ...

The walk sign lights up, and you’re ready to step off the curb when you hear the blare of an ambulance siren—or the sound of kids screaming, or even some leaves rustling in the wind. How do you make a ...
