Prefrontal neuronal dynamics in the absence of task execution

Neurons in the prefrontal cortex (PFC) represent sensory stimuli in a dynamic, task-specific manner 1,2,3. Analysis of population activity with methods of dimensionality reduction reveals that stimuli ...

Prefrontal cortex reaches back into the brain to shape how other regions function, study reveals

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 ...

How the Human Cerebellum May Outshine Our Prefrontal Cortex

Historically, neuroscientists and evolutionary anthropologists assumed that modern humans' disproportionately large frontal lobes and the explosive growth of our prefrontal cortex millennia ago were ...

Brain cells reshape structure and function for vision and memory tasks, study finds

An international research team led jointly by the University Medical Center Göttingen (UMG), the University of Göttingen and ...
