New research shows that damage to specific regions of the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) increases both impulsivity and ...

Damage to the 'medial' region of the prefrontal cortex -- the brain region that helps with planning and achieving goals -- ...

GNWT, championed by French cognitive neuroscientist Stanislas Dehaene, argues that consciousness emerges when information ...

People who have damage to a specific part of their brains are more likely to be impulsive, and new research has found that damage also makes them more likely to be influenced by other people.

Lesions in the dorsomedial section, which sits towards the top of the prefrontal cortex (PFC) were shown to have had the most significant impact on the social influence on impulsivity. Meanwhile, ...

People who have damage to a specific part of their brains are more likely to be impulsive, and new research has found that damage also makes them more likely to be influenced by other people.

People who have damage to a specific part of their brains are more likely to be impulsive, and new research has found that ...

Each patient had electrodes surgically implanted across multiple thalamic nuclei and regions of the prefrontal cortex. In total, 194 recording sites were located in nine distinct thalamic nuclei ...

Neuroscientists have identified brain areas related to self-relevance, social relevance, and a value system. When a decision ...

Direct brain recordings reveal that the thalamus, especially its intralaminar and medial nuclei, actively shapes conscious ...

Learn how our brains store memories, and why sleep is needed to retain old memories and prepare for new ones.

JNeurosci/Rogier Mars and Katherine Bryant, CC BY-NC-ND But the main differences we found were not in the prefrontal cortex. They were in the temporal lobe, a large part of cortex located ...
