A longstanding principle of neuroscience is that the brain processes visual stimuli from each side of the visual field in the opposite hemisphere: stimuli from the right side are processed in the left ...

Why does the brain split visual spatial perception between its hemispheres? A new review by neuroscientists examines the advantages and trade-offs, and how the brain ultimately makes vision feel ...

In findings that raise a variety of questions about how our brains work, and even about the nature of consciousness, UC Santa Barbara researchers and collaborators report that only a small section of ...

Views at various scales of two kinds of neurons (calretinin-expressing in cyan and somatostatin-expressing in magenta) in the prefrontal cortex of a human brain. Observing anything and everything ...

The human brain includes two hemispheres connected by a bundle of nerves. The left hemisphere controls movement for the right side of the body, while the right hemisphere directs the left side. The ...

People have a lot of misconceptions about what the brain's left and right hemispheres do, but one well-known aspect of this division may be even more true than people realize: The brain not only ...
