A brain that develops in the deprivation of one sense reorganizes itself in surprising ways, revealing remarkable ...
Dreaming serves to protect the brain’s visual cortex from being overtaken by other sensory inputs. The brain’s peak ...
Does the deaf brain "see" with its ears? New research shows the auditory cortex maps visual space through selective ...
Researchers at the UCL Queen Square Institute of Neurology find that the hippocampus sends signals to the visual cortex to predict what we are about to see. Our brains are powerful prediction machines ...
Every illusion has a backstage crew. New research shows the brain’s own “puppet strings”—special neurons that quietly tug our perception—help us see edges and shapes that don’t actually exist. When ...
A scientific dispute spanning six decades about fundamental mechanisms of visual perception in mammals has now been settled. Researchers at TUM have succeeded in observing the visual information flow ...
Researchers have developed a soft artificial retina that helped blind mice respond to near-infrared light, a type of light ...
The 1950s were a relatively rudimentary era for experimental neurophysiology. Recording the electrical activity of neurons wasn’t uncommon, but the methods often demanded considerable patience and ...
A scientific dispute spanning six decades about fundamental mechanisms of visual perception in mammals has now been settled. Researchers at TUM have succeeded in observing the visual information flow ...
A neuroimaging study published in Psychiatry Research: Neuroimaging has identified hyperactivity in the superior occipital gyrus, a region of the brain’s visual processing network, as a direct ...
