A collection of studies that chart how mammalian brain cells grow and differentiate is a ‘very valuable’ tool for ...

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

Researchers discover a new visual pathway that bypasses the primary visual cortex in mice, a structure previously considered essential to all visual processing. The newly discovered pathway (red).

The brain does not need its sophisticated cortex to interpret the visual world. A new study published in PLOS Biology ...

Individuals who suffer from migraine headaches appear to have a hyper-excitable visual cortex. Individuals who suffer from migraine headaches appear to have a hyper-excitable visual cortex researchers ...

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 ...

The implant is just 4 mm wide, and each of the tiny electrodes are 1.5 mm long. They penetrate the brain so they can both stimulate and monitor the electrical activity of neurons in the visual cortex, ...

Seeing is believing. For humans, vision is one of the major senses for interacting with our environment. Lenses in our eyes focus light onto the retina. This image is transmitted as an electrical ...

Whether we’re staring at our phones, the page of a book, or the person across the table, the objects of our focus never stand in isolation; there are always other objects or people in our field of ...
