A traditionally overlooked type of RNA plays an important role in promoting resilience to depression-but only in females.

A new study published in Neuropsychopharmacology sheds light on how heroin exposure alters brain function related to social ...

This study presents a valuable finding on how the locus coeruleus modulates the involvement of medial prefrontal cortex in set shifting using calcium imaging. The evidence supporting the claims was ...

While some past studies found that stimulating the brain, particularly the medial prefrontal cortex (MPFC), can change a person's physical appearance, they did not determine whether it altered how ...

Their findings, published in Nature Neuroscience, suggest that these memories are stored in the prefrontal cortex, the area covering the front part of the mammalian brain.

The prefrontal cortex is for planning, organizing, and strategizing in humans. Do horses have a prefrontal cortex? If not, how do they behave in intelligent ways?

Directional medial prefrontal cortex-mediodorsal thalamus information flow is required during memory retrieval In order to test the directionality of the coordinated information processing between the ...

The prefrontal cortex has more extensions into the rest of the brain than any other area and also receives more extensions than any other area.

Previous studies identified a subregion of rodent prefrontal cortex, infralimbic cortex (IL), as a key regulator of neuroendocrine‐autonomic integration after chronic stress, suggesting that IL output ...
