A novel study conducted on participants with brain damage reveals how a specific brain region – called the vmPFC – governs our willingness to help others. Researchers at the University of Birmingham ...
It's tough to learn people don't see you as the talented, charming, or intelligent person you think you are. New research points to precisely where your talentless, dull, and stupid brain pushes back ...
Why don't some people practice what they preach? Researchers reveal that a brain region called the ventromedial prefrontal cortex (vmPFC) is involved. The researchers used fMRI imaging to identify ...
Brain damage - it's not much fun when it's your brain, but for science, it's often good news. While neuroimaging can find the neural correlates of mental processes - areas of the brain which become ...
In a recent article published in Nature Communications, researchers examined the distinct roles of left and right ventromedial prefrontal cortex (vmPFC) gray matter volume (GMV) in initiating and ...
What parts of the brain are involved in posttraumatic stress disorder? A recent study of Vietnam veterans used a novel and clever strategy to produce some unexpected results. Recent developments in ...
A sub-region within the prefrontal cortex, which helps with higher-level functions such as goal-oriented behaviour and decision-making, could be responsible for why some people don't practice what ...
