Posterior parietal lobe of the cortex. First in play, it is crucial to orienting visual attention and shifting it from one location to another.

Prefrontal cortex articles from across Nature Portfolio The prefrontal cortex is a cortical area located in the anterior frontal lobe, including several subdivisions (e.g. ventromedial ...

Anatomical and molecular abnormalities of excitatory neurons in the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) are found in schizophrenia. We hypothesized that brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF ...

Your brain’s "sixth sense" is not a psychic power but a skill, powered by neuroplasticity, that can bring clarity, creativity, and deeper insight into your life.

The brain’s prefrontal cortex handles focus, planning, and decision-making. But it’s also highly energy-demanding and sensitive to overload.

If hearing an old song or getting a whiff of freshly sharpened pencils instantly carries you back to high school, you’re ...
