Angular gyrus is an associated language area that connects the visual and arithmetic areas of the brain to the speech and language areas. The angular gyrus lies just above the top edge of temporal ...

The cerebral cortex is particularly important in higher brain functions. The cerebral cortex of higher animals, including humans, has many folds, called the gyrus (Figure 1). Because of the gyrus, ...

The ventral hippocampus is a crucial brain region in the neural circuitry that regulates mood and anxiety. Adult-born neurons in the dentate gyrus of the hippocampus have been proposed both to encode ...

Neuroscientists have identified face-recognition areas based on what parts of the brain they link to. For more than a decade, neuroscientists have known that many of the cells in a brain region called ...

The human brain is highly developed with higher functions compared to other animals, thanks to which humans are believed to have acquired special abilities. One of the important factors considered to ...

Age-related memory decline may be reversed with high doses of naturally occurring cocoa flavanols, US researchers have discovered in findings that establish the dentate gyrus as central to cognitive ...
