A neuroscience Ph.D. student posted videos online to raise awareness about the brain region’s development. Netizens started ...

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 ...

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

Recent neuroscience studies using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) have enhanced our understanding of how sleep is related to learning and memory. A study just reported in the journal ...
