Identifying brain regions that are larger or smaller in some groups (for example, people with a specific brain disease) compared to others can help scientists start to understand what causes ...

“There’s this story that we’ve had in the literature that the brain regions that predict fear are things like the amygdala, or the orbital frontal cortex area, or the brainstem,” says Ajay Satpute, an ...

The temporal lobe—a key area of our brain responsible for our memory and communication—could also reveal hidden clues about ...

“Genetic variants associated with larger brain volumes in key brain regions also increase the risk of Parkinson’s disease, while variants linked to smaller brain volumes in key regions are ...

Nair says this finding was unexpected, because while line attractors had been observed in the cortex and hippocampus (which are evolutionarily recent brain regions that control higher cognitive ...

There are several brain areas involved in seeing and recognizing an object, and information is passed through those regions in a particular order. For instance, the primary visual cortex sends a ...
