MIT researchers discovered that the prefrontal cortex doesn’t just send generic control signals—it tailors its messages to different brain regions based on arousal and movement. Credit: ...

For over 150 years, neuroscientists have known that a small region in the left frontal lobe—Broca's area—plays a crucial role in speech production. Named after French physician Paul Broca, who ...

ABSTRACT: Background: To delay the onset of dementia with age, it is important for healthy adults to take preventive measures before cognitive decline occurs. Cognitive function decline is often ...
