A new study in Neuron reveals that the brain’s executive center sends highly specialized, context-dependent instructions to ...

For the first time, neuroscientists from Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin and the Max Planck Institute for Biological Intelligence (currently in the process of being established) have revealed the ...

The visual cortex evolved to receive, process, and integrate visual information that enters the brain through the eyes. The information that is processed in the visual cortex is then transferred to ...

The 1950s were a relatively rudimentary era for experimental neurophysiology. Recording the electrical activity of neurons wasn’t uncommon, but the methods often demanded considerable patience and ...

Researchers at Neuro-Electronics Research Flanders (NERF), led by Prof. Vincent Bonin, have published two new studies uncovering how visual information is processed and distributed in the brain. The ...

DURHAM, N.C. - To prepare the brain for binocular vision and depth perception, first you have to take out some of the chandeliers. That's the takeaway from a group of neurobiologists who studied the ...

What is Cortical Visual Impairment (CVI)? CVI refers to a brain condition, not an eye condition and results from damage to the visual systems in the brain that deal with processing and integrating ...

Information processing by the brain is altered in depressed individuals. A study conducted at the University of Helsinki found that in depressed patients, the processing of visual perceptions is also ...

Neuroscientists have revealed the precise connections between sensory neurons inside the retina and the superior colliculus, a structure in the midbrain. Neuropixels probes are a relatively recent ...
