The brain shows a capacity to recover from traumatic injury, which somewhat contradicts the widely accepted idea that neurons ...

Advances in technology have greatly accelerated scientific understanding of vision and the brain. Researchers can now routinely record the activity of thousands of neurons at the same time and pair ...

A new study led by scientists at the Perception Dynamics Institute and the University of California San Diego demonstrates ...

A scientist in Japan has created a technique that uses fMRI brain scans and artificial intelligence to generate sentences ...

Even mild head injuries can mean serious consequences for brain function at its most basic level. Research published in Communications Biology shows that neuroplasticity, too, has its limits. Injuries ...

Brain circuits for vision develop without any kind of input from the retina in zebrafish. Animals possess specialized networks of neurons in the brain that receive signals about the outside world from ...

Why do our mental images stay sharp even when we are moving fast? A team of neuroscientists led by Professor Maximilian Jösch at the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA) has identified a ...

Take a look at the image below... An ambiguous silhouette that the brain might categorize as a face or a hand. Source: Nicolas Davidenko Is it a face or a hand? Neither? A little of both? By using ...

Juggling tasks can feel overwhelming, especially when your brain seems to rebel against the idea of switching from one thing ...

Animals possess specialized networks of neurons in the brain that receive signals about the outside world from the retina and respond by initiating appropriate behavior. Researchers at the Max Planck ...
