A new study shows that brain overgrowth in boys with autism involves an abnormal, excess number of neurons in areas of the brain associated with social, communication and cognitive development.

Adult male mice lacking the gene Shank3 display structural and functional deficits in the prefrontal cortex, finds a study published in JNeurosci.

The researchers found these abnormalities in the temporal and prefrontal cortex, areas with roles in language and cognition that are -- in a very broad and hand-wavey sort of way -- relevant to ...

New research in mice sheds light on how circuits that connect the cerebellum and prefrontal cortex regulate autism-relevant behaviors.

Infants may begin using their prefrontal cortex earlier than previously believed, according to a study conducted by Brown University scientists.

The small grooves on the surface of our brain may play a key role in our reasoning. A recent study reveals that their depth ...

And those neurons were concentrated in the prefrontal cortex, which is key to complex thoughts and behaviors, including language, social behavior, and decision-making.

New research reveals that the brain region often linked to understanding others, the dorsal medial prefrontal cortex (DMPFC), is activated more by uncertainty than by social reasoning alone.

Their findings, published in Nature Neuroscience, suggest that these memories are stored in the prefrontal cortex, the area covering the front part of the mammalian brain.
