My previous research demonstrates that older adults can compensate for decreased medial temporal lobe activity by recruiting regions of prefrontal cortex to support encoding. However, age differences ...

The other was Heschl’s gyrus, a fold on the upper temporal lobe that hosts the auditory cortex (the cortex is the outermost layer of the brain). Better reading ability was linked to a larger ...

A study led by researchers from the Indiana University School of Medicine, Washington University in St. Louis, and other ...

The frontal lobe can be divided into the prefrontal cortex, which is responsible for personality expression and the planning of complex cognitive behaviors; and the premotor and motor areas ...

And third, the temporal lobe is involved because it’s responsible ... and the dorsal lateral prefrontal cortex because it is trying all the while to control our behavior. Our brain is busy ...

The research looks at individuals with damage to different parts of the prefrontal cortex, the seat of executive decision-making, revealing how the brain evaluates uncertainty and guides those ...

(A) This is an axial T2 magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) image showing an acute stroke in the left lateral prefrontal cortex ... in the right lateral frontal lobe. Neuropathological specimen ...
