Study insights could improve current understanding of neurodegenerative diseases as well as interpretations of brain scans.

Neuroscientists have found that the act of chewing can actually boost blood flow to important parts of your brain, like the hippocampus and prefrontal cortex. These areas are linked to learning, focus ...

Our brains begin to create internal representations of the world around us from the first moment we open our eyes. We perceptually assemble components of scenes into recognizable objects thanks to ...

Optic Nerve Pathway for Visual Information 4K stock video Description The optic nerve transmits visual signals from the eye to the brain, where they are processed and interpreted as images. Light ...

For the first time, the smallest control system of vision in mammals has been mapped—a discovery that opens entirely new ...

A new study questions the longstanding view that the visual system is divided into two pathways, one for object-recognition and the other for spatial tasks. Using computational vision models, MIT ...

Scientists have recreated a pathway that senses pain, using clusters of human nerve cells grown in a dish.

Scientists created a model of the human pain pathway in a dish by connecting four separate brain organoids. The feat should help them understand sensory disorders like those affecting pain perception.
