A high-frequency brain signal in the frontal cortex is linked to OCD compulsions. Targeted deep brain stimulation rapidly reduced symptoms in severe cases.

Researchers detected elevated high-frequency activity in anteromedial orbitofrontal cortex tied to compulsive behavior in OCD. Short bursts of deep brain stimulation reduced this signal and quickly ...

Experiments mapping individual neurons in the sensorimotor cortex of mice show that sharp transitions in functional properties can define cortical regions.

A specific pattern of brain activity in a frontal brain region is linked to compulsive behaviors like excessive hand washing, chronic hair-pulling ...

Researchers have traditionally theorized that the frontal cortex, a brain region linked to mental faculties such as planning and reasoning, expanded to an unprecedented extent during human evolution.

Researchers have discovered that symptoms of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are tied to atypical interactions between the brain's frontal cortex and ...

Objective The superior frontal cortex (SFC) supports executive functioning, which may be impaired from exposure to repetitive head impacts (RHI); therefore, SFC damage caused by RHI may contribute to ...

What Is the Frontal Lobe? Your frontal lobe is one of four different sections (also called lobes) of your brain. The four lobes in your brain are called the frontal, parietal, temporal, and occipital ...
