Experts outline why many teenagers default to “I don’t know,” a pattern linked to developmental factors that shape daily ...

“Reboot your prefrontal cortex,” “train your prefrontal cortex,” and even, “why you should make prefrontal cortex development a dating criterion.” These are among the ideas circulating on Chinese ...

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 ...

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 ...
