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 ...

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

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

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 ...

Studies of brain injuries and electrical stimulation seemed to bear this out. Damaging the Broca’s area, for instance, interfered with speech, and stimulating specific tissues could lead to specific ...

New research challenges the century-old practice of mapping the brain based on how tissue looks under a microscope. By ...

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 ...

A traditionally overlooked type of RNA plays an important role in promoting resilience to depression-but only in females. According to a new study led by the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, ...

Creativity is more than just a spark. New brain scan studies reveal the complicated interplay between multiple brain systems.

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 ...
