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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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

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 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.

The brain has evolved this precise wiring and division of labor among different neuron types to act as the brakes in the visual system, just as important as the accelerator." The impact of lateral ...

To understand how visual information impacts the brain's internal compass, the researchers exposed mice to a disorienting virtual world while recording the brain's neural activity.

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.

Scientists of the University of Antwerp and University of Liège have found how the human brain changes and adapts to weightlessness, after being in space for 6 months.

Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine created a map of neural activity in a cubic millimeter of the primary visual cortex by recording brain cell responses while the laboratory mouse ran on a ...
