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 ...
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 ...
The results reveal that the human frontal operculum is subdivided into 3 regions, organized on the antero-posterior axis: PCO, located at the level of the precentral gyrus and thus the premotor/motor ...
Researchers have investigated the impact of 10-min very light exercise on pupil size and prefrontal function. Their findings provide the first evidence that changes in pupil size during exercise can ...
Astrocytes form an integral component of the neurovascular unit, ensheathing brain blood vessels with endfeet high in aquaporin-4 (AQP4) expression. These AQP4-rich endfeet facilitate interaction ...
An international research team led jointly by the University Medical Center Göttingen (UMG), the University of Göttingen and ...
Tsukuba, Japan—Listening to rhythmic music, particularly music with a pronounced groove, elicits a heightened sense of excitement, prompting individuals to instinctively move their bodies in sync with ...
Enhancing prefrontal cortex (PFC) cognitive functions requires identifying suitable exercises that increase cerebral blood flow. A recent study using functional near-infrared spectroscopy found that ...
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 ...
Recent studies have revealed that mild forms of exercise, such as yoga or walking, can improve mood and enhance executive function, which involves the brain's prefrontal cortex and refers to the ...
