"This study elegantly shows how analysis of eye movement sheds more light on brain plasticity- an ability that is at the core of the brain's capacity to adapt and function. More specifically, it shows ...

Brains constantly predict what the eyes will see next, relying on internal feedback networks that physically rewire ...

Researchers have discovered a new way that brain plasticity is controlled in early life, offering insight into the ...

Summary: A developmental neurobiology breakthrough uncovered a previously unmapped molecular pathway that regulates brain ...

Understanding how the human brain represents the information picked up by the senses is a longstanding objective of neuroscience and psychology studies. Most past studies focusing on the visual cortex ...

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 ...

Whether we're staring at our phones, the page of a book, or the person across the table, the objects of our focus never stand in isolation; there are always other objects or people in our field of ...

Harvard Medical School researchers identified a cortisol-driven pathway that regulates critical-period closure in the developing brain. In mice, stress hormones activated astrocytes and promoted ...
