A neuroimaging study comparing individuals with insomnia to healthy adults found disrupted connectivity in the sensory processing cortex and subcortical nuclei of the brain among those with insomnia.

“The senses are critical for memory because they’re at the intersection between our environment, our experiences, and our memory system,” says Susanne Jaeggi, a professor of psychology, applied ...

Here, we recorded population neural activity in the motor cortex via microelectrode arrays while monkeys performed flexible manual interceptions of moving targets. During this task, which requires ...

Neuroscientists have produced the largest wiring diagram and functional map of a mammalian brain to date using tissue from a part of a mouse's cerebral cortex involved in vision, an achievement that ...

The somatosensory cortex is a region of the mammalian brain known to play a crucial role in the processing of sensory information, including tactile sensations, temperature and pain. While this ...

We conclude that prediction errors drive LC activity, and that LC activity facilitates sensorimotor plasticity in the cortex, consistent with a role in modulating learning rates. Introduction Through ...

An interdisciplinary research team at the University of Freiburg has found important clues about the functioning of the sensorimotor cortex. The new findings on neuronal activities in this brain ...

An interdisciplinary research team has found important clues about the functioning of the sensorimotor cortex. The new findings on neuronal activities in this brain area could be helpful for the ...

The Genital Sensory Cortex Is the ‘Crotch of Your Brain’—Here’s How To Arouse It A brain crotch orgasm engages your whole body. A neuroscientist explains how to achieve it by tuning into ...

How does the mind (conceptually associated with the cerebral cortex) influence autonomic and endocrine systems that control internal organs? And, which regions of the cerebral cortex are the origin of ...
