Learn more about the differences in brain structure for those born blind and how a new study is changing our understanding of ...

Researchers at University of Tsukuba have applied a visualization technique to depict the brain's activity related to visual perception as geometric patterns. They visualized different shapes, such as ...

Your brain has something surprising in common with the ocean: waves. Electrical activity washes over the brain's surface, ...

A new neuroscience review suggests traveling brain waves build visual perception, shaping what we consciously see.

Accessing the brain for neurosurgery involves drilling and cutting that can cause deep-brain anatomy to shift or become distorted. This can create discrepancies between pre-operative imaging and the ...

My last article focused, oddly enough…on focus—namely, how to help gifted students who are easily distracted by outside stimuli. Those of you with easily distracted students or children of your own ...

When animals move through complex visual environments, the brain cannot afford to analyze every detail one by one. Instead, it rapidly extracts the overall structure of the scene—for example, the mean ...

Researchers show that brain organoids -- clumps of lab-grown neurons -- can integrate with rat brains and respond to visual stimulation like flashing lights. In a study publishing in the journal Cell ...

It's hard for the octopus to pick just one party trick. It swims via jet propulsion, shoots inky chemicals at its foes, and can change its skin within seconds to blend in with its surroundings. A team ...

This study shows that mouse V1 simultaneously encodes the ensemble mean and variance of motion, providing a robust summary‐statistic representation that persists despite single-neuron variability.
