The brain does not need its sophisticated cortex to interpret the visual world. A new study published in PLOS Biology ...
New research shows that the superior colliculus, a primitive brain region, can independently interpret visual information.
Blindness profoundly affects people's lives. Around the world, several laboratories, including the Biomedical ...
A global consortium of scientists has created the first and most detailed "developmental maps" of the mammalian brain (from ...
A collection of studies that chart how mammalian brain cells grow and differentiate is a ‘very valuable’ tool for ...
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 ...
Yale scientists traced gamma brain waves to thalamus-cortex interactions. The discovery could reveal how brain rhythms shape perception and disease. For more than a century, scientists have observed ...
A new discovery has unraveled why we sometimes see colors that aren't there. The phenomenon of "color afterimages" is when ...
New study combines a novel approach using patterned optogenetics with electrophysiology, circuit mapping, and computational ...
The superior colliculus, an ancestral brain structure, performs visual computations once thought to be exclusive to the cortex. The study combines a ...
