It used to be thought that without the cerebral cortex, consciousness could not exist. New research, however, has found that humans and animals missing part or all of their cortices are still capable ...

Researchers identify the rostral prefrontal cortex as the essential bridge between spontaneous and executive brain networks ...

A Paris Brain Institute study has identified the rostral prefrontal cortex as a key 'bridge' between the brain’s spontaneous and goal-oriented networks, crucial for creativity. Using patients with ...

The placebo effect has long been dismissed as purely psychological, regarded as a mental trick with no real biological basis.

Researchers at the Paris Brain Institute have identified the rostral prefrontal cortex as a key hub linking brain networks that generate and control creative thought. Studying patients with behavioral ...

A team led by Professor Ed X. Wu and Dr. Alex T. L. Leong has achieved a major breakthrough in understanding how the brain ...
