Understanding how the human brain represents the information picked up by the senses is a longstanding objective of neuroscience and psychology studies. Most past studies focusing on the visual cortex ...

New research shows that the superior colliculus, a primitive brain region, can independently interpret visual information.

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.

A global consortium of scientists has created the first and most detailed "developmental maps" of the mammalian brain (from ...

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 ...

When you see a bag of carrots at the grocery store, does your mind go to potatoes and parsnips or buffalo wings and celery? It depends, of course, on whether you're making a hearty winter stew or ...

The superior colliculus, an ancestral brain structure, performs visual computations once thought to be exclusive to the cortex. The study combines a ...

Scientists have created an advanced visual neuroprosthesis that communicates bidirectionally with the brain, marking one of ...

Researchers have created one of the most detailed virtual mouse cortex simulations ever achieved by combining massive ...

Some babies are born with early blindness due to dense bilateral congenital cataracts, requiring surgery to restore their ...
