A new study identifies the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) as a crucial brain region for inference-making, allowing animals to interpret hidden states in changing environments.

Researchers at the University of Toronto's Temerty Faculty of Medicine have found widespread genetic and protein changes in ...

A new study linked chronic pain to activity in the orbitofrontal cortex, an area involved in emotion regulation, self-evaluation and decision making. By Priyanka Runwal Researchers have for the first ...

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 ...

University of Calgary researchers find diet-induced obesity is linked to a functional change in the brain. The study published in Nature Neuroscience finds that in obese mice there is a reduction in ...

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 ...

Long-term brain recordings from four patients with chronic pain have led investigators at the University of California at San Francisco to identify brain signals that could serve as biomarkers for ...

People living with long Covid who suffer from loss of smell show different patterns of activity in certain regions of the brain, a new study led by UCL researchers has found. The research used MRI ...
