A Paris Brain Institute study has identified the rostral prefrontal cortex as a key 'bridge' between the brain’s spontaneous and goal-oriented networks, crucial for creativity. Using patients with ...

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

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 ...

Researchers found that creativity depends on coordination between the default mode network and executive control network. The ...

Prefrontal cortex biopsies taken for research purposes during deep brain stimulation (DBS) procedures appeared to be safe, new research has suggested. Investigators found no significant differences in ...

Researchers at the Paris Brain Institute have identified the rostral prefrontal cortex as a key hub linking brain networks that generate and control creative thought. Studying patients with behavioral ...

When a writer comes up with a striking metaphor, when an engineer solves a tricky problem by combining seemingly unrelated tools, or when a child invents the rules of a new game, what happens in the ...

A sub-region within the prefrontal cortex, which helps with higher-level functions such as goal-oriented behaviour and decision-making, could be responsible for why some people don't practice what ...

Obtaining prefrontal cortex biopsies during deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery in living patients does not increase the risk of adverse events or cognitive decline compared to standard DBS ...

A neuroscience Ph.D. student posted videos online to raise awareness about the brain region’s development. Netizens started ...
