functions, such as the somatomotor cortex[21,66,69,71], the parahippocampal place area (PPA)[72],amygdala[67], auditory cortex[73],insular cortex[74]and ACC[68,71,75]. These brain areas are involved in a diverse array of functions, including volitional movement, tactile sensation, visual ...
Brain Structure & Function publishes research that provides insight into brain structure−function relationships. Studies published here integrate data spanning from molecular, cellular, developmental, and systems architecture to the neuroanatomy of behavior and cognitive functions. BS&F does not publish pur...

(calledBroca's area and Wernicke's area, respectively) and is also associated with mathematical calculation and fact retrieval, Holland said. The right brain plays a role in visual and auditory processing, spatial skills and artistic ability — more instinctive or creative things, Holland said —...
While single-cell technologies have greatly advanced our comprehension of human brain cell types and functions, studies including large numbers of donors and multiple brain regions are needed to extend our understanding of brain cell heterogeneity. Integrating atlas-level single-cell data presents a chan...

“I am not dissing his hypothesis. But that’s all it is,” says Gage. “Yes, fetal or embryonic tissue can mature in the adult brain. But whether it replaces the function of the dysfunctional area is an experiment he needs to do, if he wants to convince the wo...
"That area of the brain has the ability to take into account long-term information, such as the desire to be healthy, in order to control immediate desires," said Dagher. Two hormones, leptin and ghrelin, are known to trigger the body to eat in a weight-loss setting and previous researc...
