A new neuroimaging study suggests that adolescents with borderline personality disorder exhibit distinct patterns of brain ...

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 ...

Imagine two kids in adjoining backyards that are separated by a fence. Both yards have a trampoline, so the kids jump up and down to talk to one another. It will only work if both kids are at the top ...

Bursts of brain rhythms with 'beta' frequencies control where and when neurons in the cortex process sensory information and plan responses. Studying these bursts would improve understanding of ...

New research indicates that daily consumption of sodas and sports drinks may hinder the cognitive abilities of adolescents. A ...

Aging doesn’t have to mean losing your past. Scientists have found a way to "reprogram" specific memory-holding neurons, restoring youthful learning and recall in mice.

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 ...
