A new study provides evidence for how the frontal cortex exerts control over thought and action.
A new NIH study reveals abnormalities in brain glucose metabolism could be linked to the severity of Alzheimer's pathology.
A new study reveals the role the claustrum plays in cocaine addiction. Inhibiting claustral neurons prevented behavioral responses to cocaine in mouse models of addiction.
Some elderly people harbor extensive Alzheimer's pathology in their brain and have no evidence of the cognitive decline associated with the disease, researchers report.
Researchers report the frontoparietal network plays a key role in why humans have superior reasoning skills.
Researchers discover the brain mechanisms which underlie discourse comprehension.
Researchers have discovered a mechanism the brain uses to help compensate when noise obscures speech sounds.
Prosopagnosia, or "face-blindness", involves an entire network, not just one area of the brain. The findings may shed light on poor facial processing abilities associated with autism.
A new study redefines the role of the Broca's area.
Performing post-mortem staging of the brains and spinal cord tissue of patients with ALS, researchers discover the neurodegenerative disease could progress from one start point in the CNS to other regions of the brain and spinal cord.
Researchers have identified the activity of a genetic network that responds to social stress in mice.
Researchers have identified a new role for the cerebellum. Rather than just helping to control muscle activity, the cerebellum may also play a critical role in cognitive functions.
