Life can be tricky. We have so many decisions to make. It’s a good thing we have an orbitofrontal cortex and hippocampus to help us. These areas of the brain, according to researchers at UC Santa ...
Life can be tricky. We have so many decisions to make. It's a good thing we have an orbitofrontal cortex and hippocampus to help us. These areas of the brain work together to help us sort through ...
Newly identified brain cells evolved along the theme, "Life is uncertain; Eat dessert first." The neurons, located in the front part of the brain, are most active when the outcome of a decision is ...
Rats with a history of cocaine use exhibited prolonged encoding of idiosyncratic task features in orbitofrontal cortex and a reduced ability to compress such features to identify underlying hidden ...
Study reveals how aging accelerates molecular changes in the brain, offering new hope for tackling cognitive decline and mental illness. Resource: Single-nucleus transcriptomic profiling of human ...
Overexpression of Shisa7 in the orbitofrontal cortex in drug-free rats induced comparable up and down changes in gene expression as that induced by the self-administration of heroin. The concordant ...
A new study links anxiety, a brain structure called the orbitofrontal cortex, and optimism, finding that healthy adults who have larger OFCs tend to be more optimistic and less anxious. The new ...
