Neurobiologists have made a breakthrough in understanding how environmental factors might contribute to autism spectrum ...

Once believed to be limited to movement planning, this region has now been shown, through computational modeling and brain stimulation ... the roles of the prefrontal cortex and higher motor ...

This useful study reports how neuronal activity in the prefrontal cortex maps time intervals during which animals ... and drilled a hole with 1.9 mm diameter on top of the virus injection site. We ...

The first is the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, an area of the brain that’s involved in executive function and cognition. The second is called the ventromedial prefrontal cortex, which is ...

A groundbreaking study from Tel Aviv University expands the understanding of the biological mechanism underlying genetically based autism, specifically mutations in the SHANK3 gene, responsible ...

Summary: Autism-linked SHANK3 gene mutations disrupt not only neurons but also oligodendrocytes, essential for producing myelin, which insulates nerve fibers. This damage reduces brain signal ...
