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

The analysis reveals that more than 90% of neurons in the visual cortex, the part of the brain that process our visual world, don't work the way scientists thought -- and it's not yet clear how ...

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 ...

How we scan the visual scene is guided and processed by specific brain regions. One central region in the right cerebral hemisphere stands out.

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

Read the paper: Connectome-driven neural inventory of a complete visual system Fly-brain connectome helps to make predictions about neural activity How light receptor cells in fruit-fly eyes multitask ...

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 ...

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." ...

Scientists have gained new insights into the part of the brain that gives us a sense of direction, by tracking neural activity with the latest advances in brain imaging techniques.

In recent work, computational models of the mammalian visual and auditory systems built using self-supervised learning models have shown a closer correspondence to brain function than their supervised ...

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.

WASHINGTON - 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, an ...
