Even in the primary visual cortex, a brain region named for its specialized role in processing basic features of what the ...

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 ...

Researchers identify key rules for how visual cortex neurons organize thousands of synaptic inputs based on distance and clustering.

Since then, many more researchers have reported evidence for neurons changing how they respond to certain stimuli or ...

Hibernation causes rapid, reversible structural changes in squirrel neurons, offering new avenues for human stroke recovery.

A small team of brain researchers at South China Normal University, working with a colleague from the University of New South Wales, has found that the visual processing parts of the brain light up in ...

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 ...

Sounds can alter the way the brain interprets what it sees. This is the key finding of a new study by SISSA researchers in Trieste, published in PLOS Computational Biology. The research shows that, ...

Visual auras, like those that occur in migraines, may be signs of small injuries to the brain’s visual cortex, according to a clinical trial at UC San Francisco that tracked the appearance of these ...

A wireless intracortical architecture targets total blindness by circumventing nonfunctional retinas and optic nerves, ...
