Vision shapes behavior, and a new study by MIT neuroscientists finds behavior and internal states shape vision. The research, published in Neuron, finds in mice that, via specific circuits, the ...

Scientists found our brain may organize behavior by activity patterns rather than fixed regions, reshaping how brain control ...

Cognitive functions, also known as intellectual functions, encompass thinking, understanding, memory, language, computation, and judgment, and are performed in the cerebrum. The prefrontal cortex (PFC ...

Researchers have developed the first activity-based maps of the prefrontal cortex, challenging traditional descriptions of ...

For more than a century, maps of the brain have been based on how brain tissue looks under the microscope.

A new MIT study illustrates how areas within the brain’s executive control center tailor their messages in specific circuits with other brain regions to influence them with information about behavior ...
