Researchers have discovered that the dorsal premotor cortex serves a 'meta-learning' function, overseeing and regulating physical movements. Once believed to be limited to movement planning, this ...

This schematic outlines their analytical framework. The approach involves creating a validated developmental atlas of the dorsal prefrontal cortex from structural connectivity, then using these ...

A. Seed region: dorsal anterior cingulate cortex (dACC). B. Whole-brain regression analysis reveals an association between higher dACC-dlPFC connectivity at Time 1 and a delayed age of first substance ...

The Department of Neurobiology is excited to launch a new series that will highlight faculty members’ papers in peer-reviewed journals. Neurobiologists are advancing the field of neuroscience through ...

Longitudinal calcium imaging in the medial prefrontal cortex reveals the emergence of de novo task representations and reward-associated replay.

This is the third installment in our brain basics blog. Let’s dive a bit more into structure today and get used to some fundamental parts, their names, and their functions. Remember, knowing the parts ...

Drug addiction carries an extremely high risk of relapse, as cravings can be reignited by minor stimuli even long after one has stopped using. Previously, this phenomenon was attributed to a decline ...
