The prefrontal cortex is one small part of the frontal lobes in the human brain. At least some predator animals have a prefrontal cortex, allowing limited executive function.

A new study has found that stronger communication between the cerebellum and the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex—a part of the ...

A new study has identified a key brain hub in the medial prefrontal cortex that regulates stress responses and social ...

Notably, aerobic exercise, even at low-intensity levels, stimulates the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) of the brain, thereby improving executive functions such as attention, concentration ...

A new clinical trial has found evidence that the dopamine-enhancing drug tolcapone can help improve self-control and reduce ...

The cognitive impacts were also linked to lower task-related oxygenation levels in the prefrontal cortex of the brain. Executive function-related cognitive dysfunction was observed to be amplified ...

"For instance, the prefrontal cortex, which is responsible for executive functions such as decision-making and impulse control, tends to show continued development into early adulthood, with ...

University of Cambridge researchers report that inactivating dorsolateral prefrontal cortex area 46 in marmosets blunts ...
