Neurons' ability to change their behavior in response to new stimuli is what makes learning possible. And even neurons' ...

Illusion circuits in the visual cortex were uncovered with two-photon holography, advancing perception and neurophysiology studies.

Researchers identified neurons in the mouse primary visual cortex that encode illusions that receive information from higher ...

University of Tübingen researchers used fMRI to record brain activity while people viewed colored moving rings.

A team of engineers and neuroscientists has demonstrated for the first time that human brain organoids implanted in mice have established functional connectivity to the animals' cortex and responded ...

Using lasers, researchers triggered optical illusion signals in mouse brains, uncovering how the brain fills in missing details in vision.

An illusion is when we see and perceive an object that doesn't match the sensory input that reaches our eyes. In the case of ...

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 ...

In a new study, researchers unveil a device that might offer an alternative to invasive procedures. Featuring a novel ...

Signals are processed only if they reach the brain during brief receptive cycles. This timing mechanism explains how ...

The cerebral cortex of your brain is the outermost layer. It's the part of the brain that appears wrinkled because it has a lot of folds. Your cerebral cortex is divided into two hemispheres. Each ...
