By Priyanjana Pramanik, MSc. New ultra–high-field brain scans reveal hidden body maps inside the visual system, showing how ...

Vision shapes behavior, and a new study by MIT neuroscientists finds behavior and internal states shape vision. The research, ...

MIT researchers discovered that the prefrontal cortex doesn’t just send generic control signals—it tailors its messages to ...

MIT scientists found that what we see is strongly influenced by how alert or active we are. Parts of the brain responsible ...

New research shows that the prefrontal cortex doesn’t simply broadcast generic commands to sensory regions—it sends finely tailored signals that shape how the brain processes vision depending on ...

A research group led by Prof. Zhang Peng from the Institute of Biophysics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has revealed how ...

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 ...

Scientists at EPFL have developed an innovative, non-invasive brain stimulation therapy to significantly improve visual function in stroke patients who have suffered vision loss following a stroke.

Scientists studying brain process involved in sight have found the visual cortex also uses information gleaned from the ears as well as the eyes when viewing the world. They suggest this auditory ...

Could something as simple as pen and paper turn out to be one of the most powerful tools for protecting your brain? New ...
