An international team of scientists led by the University of Surrey has discovered that a form of safe, painless, and non-invasive brain stimulation could help people who are at risk of falling behind ...

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 ...

Study demonstrated that the Homer1 gene improves focus by reducing “noise” in the prefrontal cortex, with implications for studying attention disorders.

The greatest enemy of anyone below 25 is the prefrontal cortex. Indeed, it is the devil on your shoulder that whispers in your ear, telling you to smoke that weed the night before your economics ...
