Understanding how the human brain represents the information picked up by the senses is a longstanding objective of ...

A new survey of the activity of nearly 60,000 neurons in the mouse visual system reveals how far we have to go to understand how the brain computes. The analysis reveals that more than 90% of ...

Visual attention can be directed by a top-down system, governed by specific brain regions. Or it can be due to visual features of objects in the scene, such as their size, movement, or color ...

The brain's visual system consists of a network of areas that work together, with lower areas handling simple details (e.g. small regions of space, colours, edges) and higher areas representing ...

Like primates, mice have brain regions specialized for static images and for movement. The Allen researchers recorded the neural activity in the mouse visual cortex as the animals watched the videos.

What happens in the brain when our senses don't match our expectations—for example, when we take a step, but there's no sound ...

Through this symphony, the brain likely both processes and puts together a coherent visual percept. „This work is a major step forward in our understanding of natural vision,” Anton Sirota says. „It ...

According to the authors, their work suggests that the oscillatory activity in these two brain regions may play a crucial role in integrating auditory and visual information during memory recall ...

A new discovery of how bees use their flight movements to facilitate remarkably accurate learning and recognition of complex ...

A toolkit for seeing how the fly brain’s visual system works. A complete inventory of the Drosophila visual system classifies about 53,000 neurons into 732 types.
