Digital learning is a marathon of the eyes and the mind. Most students fail because they treat their screens like paper. They are not the same. When navigating online courses, the primary enemy is not ...

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 ...

Long-term, heavy cannabis use has been linked to changes in the prefrontal cortex, which plays a key role in executive functions like planning, working memory, and impulse control. The corresponding ...

Researchers believe other species could help explain the mysterious origins of our consciousness. One new paper argues that consciousness evolved in distinct waves from environmental pressures, like a ...

Abstract: Transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS) is an emerging neuromodulation technology that has been reported to be beneficial in the treatment of diseases by several studies, ...

MIT scientists found that what we see is strongly influenced by how alert or active we are. Parts of the brain responsible for planning and control send specialized signals that either boost or quiet ...

For a long time, it was believed that the prefrontal cortex—the part of our brain responsible for decision-making and impulse control—didn’t fully develop until the age of 25, which is when we’d ...

Vision shapes behavior and, a new study by MIT neuroscientists finds, behavior and internal states shape vision. The research, published Nov. 25 in Neuron, finds in mice that via specific circuits, ...

Summary: New research shows that the prefrontal cortex doesn’t simply broadcast generic commands to sensory regions—it sends finely tailored signals that shape how the brain processes vision depending ...
