People have a lot of misconceptions about what the brain's left and right hemispheres do, but one well-known aspect of this ...

Research reveals how the brain divides visual input between hemispheres, then seamlessly reconnects it to create a unified, ...

Researchers identified two brain networks involved in word retrieval -- the cognitive process of accessing words we need to speak. A semantic network processes meaning in middle/inferior frontal gyri, ...

The gray matter reductions in the prefrontal cortex correlated with higher scores ... beliefs are not solely determined by brain anatomy. Instead, the structural differences may reflect long ...

Colored green above, a songbird's cortex, which dominates the bird brain anatomy, functions similarly to a human cortex. It is the outer brain shell responsible for controlling perception and some ...

the response weakens activity of the brain’s decision-making center in the prefrontal cortex. Overcoming addiction usually entails not just stopping use of a substance but also discovering or ...

The team also used a combination of mathematical modelling and existing brain scans to map the size and location of lesions in the medial prefrontal cortex. The results suggest that specific ...
