When a person's hearing and vision are uncompromised and function at a relatively high level, the human brain is able to take ...

Researchers at the Netherlands Institute for Neuroscience have collaborated with several universities to develop a new ...

A multidisciplinary team of researchers at Georgia Tech has discovered how lateral inhibition helps our brains process visual ...

A Stanford-led study finds that brain organization for visual recognition is partly innate but also shaped by experience. Using MRI on infants, researchers identified stable white matter connections ...

Brain circuits are known to gradually form ... the early development of neural circuits in the mammal brain's visual cortex. Their paper, published in Nature Neuroscience, unveils patterns of ...

Researchers have identified a region in the brain's visual cortex that responds to food and have developed a theoretical framework that could explain the origins of this selectivity. The team ...

By studying never-before-seen details of brain connectivity in human infants, researchers have identified how a balance of innate structure and flexible learning produces our remarkably organized ...

The animate-inanimate category distinction is one of the general organizing principles in the primate high-level visual cortex. Much less is known about the visual cortical representations of animacy ...
