A particular sort of dream control helps people mold their minds, practice real-life skills, and even shape their waking ...

The dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) is considered the control center of emotion and cognition (Segal and Elkana, 2023). Patients with depression are believed to have functional and structural ...

The study suggests that targeted brain stimulation could help bridge this gap. Academic learning has profound implications ...

Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) isn’t caused by just one faulty switch in the brain; it’s more like a tangled orchestra of genes and cells thrown off-key by trauma. With many genetic players ...

Anatomical and molecular abnormalities of excitatory neurons in the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) are found in schizophrenia. We hypothesized that brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF ...

A new study reveals how the brain responds to mental exhaustion, identifying two key regions—the right insula and the ...

The prefrontal cortex is a cortical area located in the anterior frontal lobe, including several subdivisions (e.g. ventromedial, dorsolateral, orbitofrontal cortices).

The strength of certain neural connections can predict how well someone can learn math, and mild electrically stimulating ...

The microarray datasets of the prefrontal cortex with three Affymetrix platforms (hgu133A, hgu133 2.0+ and hgu95Av2) were used for this cross-study analysis.

"The dorsolateral prefrontal cortex has been very well studied," says Girgenti. "But there are other regions of the brain that we know a lot less about, and they're just as likely to hold secrets ...

The brain’s prefrontal cortex handles focus, planning, and decision-making. But it’s also highly energy-demanding and sensitive to overload.
