New research published in Neuropsychologia provides evidence that adults with dyslexia process visual information differently ...

A closed-loop cortical implant generates functional percepts of shape, motion, and letters in two individuals with acquired ...

Research reveals why some images feel pleasing while others uncomfortable. The brain prefers visuals that cost less energy.

Blindsight describes the phenomenon whereby individuals with damage to the primary visual cortex (V1) retain certain visually guided behaviours despite an absence of conscious visual perception. In ...

Although astrocytes are as prevalent in the brain as neurons, their role in neural processing remains less explored. A recent study conducted by researchers at the Picower Institute for Learning and ...

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 ...

Ultra-high-field brain scans reveal integrated maps of vision and touch, highlighting the brain's role in embodied perception ...

A new study in Neuron reveals that the brain’s executive center sends highly specialized, context-dependent instructions to ...

Yale researchers have discovered a process in the primate brain that sheds new light on how visual systems work and could lead to advances in both human neuroscience and artificial intelligence.

Blood vessels in the macaque brain are densest in energy-intensive regions such as the visual cortex Figure 1: A high-resolution image showing the distribution of ...
