Researchers identify the rostral prefrontal cortex as the essential bridge between spontaneous and executive brain networks ...

When a writer comes up with a striking metaphor, when an engineer solves a tricky problem by combining seemingly unrelated ...

For more than a decade, neuroscientists had recordings from monkey brains learning to sort visual patterns. They had analyzed ...

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 ...

An image from the research shows axons from neurons in the ACA (red) and ORB (green) innervating the visual cortex, targeting discrete layers. Vision shapes behavior and, a new study by MIT ...

An MIT-led team built a biologically detailed AI model of the prefrontal cortex–striatum circuit that not only matched macaque learning behavior but predicted a previously unnoticed class of neurons ...
