The contribution of medial temporal lobe structures to memory is well established. However recent brain-imaging studies have indicated that frontal cortex may also be involved in human memory ...

Studies of a gene that affects how efficiently the brain's frontal lobes process information are revealing some untidy consequences of a tiny variation in its molecular structure and how it may ...

Adolescence, the life stage that marks the transition between childhood and adulthood, is known to be a vital period for the brain's development. During this critical phase, people's mental abilities, ...

Your brain has four major lobes: frontal, temporal, parietal and occipital. Your brain is wired to conduct your most important work each day through the most intricate neural connections and across ...

Research shows that memory skills tend to decline dramatically in old age, with decreasing levels of accuracy and increasing errors. However, new research from Washington University in St. Louis ...

Researchers conducted a randomized clinical trial to assess whether 24 weeks of treatment with rotigotine can modify cognitive functions in patients with mild to moderate Alzheimer disease. Although ...

Executive performance, such as attention and memory, is associated with the frontal lobes. Researchers found specific structural changes in the prefrontal area and left cerebellum can predict ...

Whether it’s joy or anger, we’re wired to catch and spread emotions. Here's how to inoculate ourselves against negative ones. Your brain has four major lobes: frontal, temporal, parietal and occipital ...
