WASHINGTON (Reuters) -Neuroscientists have produced the largest wiring diagram and functional map of a mammalian brain to date using tissue from a part of a mouse's cerebral cortex involved in vision, ...

Researchers at Neuro-Electronics Research Flanders (NERF), led by Prof. Vincent Bonin, have published two studies uncovering how visual information is processed and distributed in the brain. The ...

A team of engineers and neuroscientists has demonstrated for the first time that human brain organoids implanted in mice have established functional connectivity to the animals' cortex and responded ...

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 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 ...

The cerebral cortex is your brain’s outermost layer. It has a wrinkled appearance due to the grooves and folds that increase its surface area. Here, we look at the anatomy of the cerebral cortex and ...

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 ...

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 ...

People with aphantasia still generate brain activity when attempting to visualize, but that image may be getting lost in translation, a new study suggests. When you purchase through links on our site, ...
