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

By revealing for the first time what happens in the brain when an animal makes a mistake, Johns Hopkins University ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
