A new study from UC San Francisco challenges the traditional view of how the brain strings sounds together to form words and orchestrates the movements to pronounce them.

While previous experiments had tracked this electrical brain circuit to the motor cortex in mammals, the field has struggled to determine where discharge signals originate in the human motor cortex.

Four of the five regions were in the frontal lobes, two in the left frontal cortex, one in the right precentral gyrus, and one in the right orbitofrontal cortex.

Scientists show that in the inferior frontal gyrus, neural activity differs in response to food images, depending on whether those images are presented consciously or unconsciously. This ...

The report describes how the researchers mapped auditory corollary discharge signals from the bottom, or ventral, part of the motor cortex, a subregion called the precentral gyrus. The electrical ...

The frontal cortex didn’t store the memory itself, but it seemed to decide which item deserved more attention. Once that decision was made, it influenced how the visual cortex represented each item.
