Glutamatergic dysfunction is involved in the pathophysiology of treatment-resistant depression (TRD). However, few physiological studies have evaluated its pathophysiology in vivo in individuals with ...

To achieve goals in a dynamic environment, the prefrontal cortex (PFC) facilitates various cognitive functions that allow an organism to detect and discriminate information, identify changes in ...

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 ...

Vision shapes behavior, and a new study by MIT neuroscientists finds behavior and internal states shape vision. The research, published in Neuron, finds in mice that, via specific circuits, the ...

Many horse owners think the existence of the prefrontal cortex is a major controversy in equine science. It’s not. It’s just an area that’s riddled with misinformation. Curiously, most people—horsey ...

Tsukuba, Japan—Listening to rhythmic music, particularly music with a pronounced groove, elicits a heightened sense of excitement, prompting individuals to instinctively move their bodies in sync with ...

Recent studies have revealed that mild forms of exercise, such as yoga or walking, can improve mood and enhance executive function, which involves the brain's prefrontal cortex and refers to the ...

Different areas of the prefrontal cortex show very different effects on the time variability in decision-making activities Figure 1: The variability in the time it takes to make decisions tends to ...

Mild exercise like yoga improves mood and executive function, but the neural mechanisms were unclear. Using pupillometry, researchers found that pupil size changes during very light exercise predict ...
