A new study shows that balanced neural inhibition in the hippocampus is crucial for recognition memory, the ability to remember objects we’ve recently encountered.

Humans are able to make relatively stable judgments and swiftly adjust their strategies, even when goals suddenly change or situations become ...

A new study has revealed that neural inhibition and balanced neural activity in a specific area of the brain is required for ...

Neuronal sequences in the medial prefrontal cortex of the brain encode critical information associated with a procedural rule. These sequences can be explored and leveraged as novel biomarkers for ...

This potentially valuable cross-sectional longitudinal study leverages high-definition transcranial direct current stimulation to the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex to examine its effect on ...

Is there merit to the familiar adage that goes, “once you learn how to ride a bike, you never forget?” Unfortunately, this is not always the case, as people suffering from neurodegenerative diseases ...

Many horse owners think the existence of the prefrontal cortex is a major controversy in equine science. It’s not. It’s just an area that’s riddled with misinformation. Curiously, most people—horsey ...

A new study in Neuron reveals that the brain’s executive center sends highly specialized, context-dependent instructions to the visual system rather than a generic broadcast signal. The findings ...
