The result fit with prior research indicating that accelerated growth of new brain cells in the dentate gyrus, in a process called neurogenesis, is necessary for antidepressants to cure rats of their depression.

At those moments, part of the cognitive control network, called the inferior frontal gyrus, was more active than it was at other times.

The so - called Inferior frontal gyrus (IFG) was activated more during sequences which were ungrammatical than grammatical, although brain activity was more weighted towards the right hemisphere.

There was also less activity in an area called the supramarginal gyrus.

They found that elevated levels impaired function of a section of the hippocampus called the dentate gyrus, which is a «hotspot» of age - related impairment, according to study author Scott Small, a neurologist at Columbia University.

In the 1960s, researchers showed that adult rats continually produce neurons in a brain region called the dentate gyrus, part of the hippocampus — an area that plays an important role in acquiring new memories.

It receives information via the so - called mossy fibres (MF), which originate in dentate gyrus neurons and, together with pyramidal neurons, form synapses in CA3; in this case MF - CA3 - synapses.

The neurons responsible for our refined «face sense» lie in a brain region called the fusiform gyrus.

This novel approach — combining information obtained simultaneously from MRI images of the stomach, feelings reported by the subjects, and brain scans — can offer new insights which would otherwise have been unknown, for example that activation in a brain area called the mid-temporal gyrus seems is in some way influenced by the increased water load in this experiment.

The researchers saw that among the PTSD group, who were all taking the drug paroxetine (sold as Paxil), the patients who showed the most improvement from the SSRI were those who showed the least activation, prior to treatment, of a brain area called the right ventrolateral prefrontal cortex, also known as the inferior frontal gyrus.

Again, this doesn't mean the fusiform gyrus isn't important — irregularities there have been linked to a condition called face blindness, which prevents humans from recognizing individuals — but it could mean that the human ability boils down to more than just some unique brain matter we've evolved to carry.
