WASHINGTON (Reuters) -Neuroscientists have produced the largest wiring diagram and functional map of a mammalian brain to date using tissue from a part of a mouse's cerebral cortex involved in vision, ...

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 ...

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 ...

The way the brain develops can shape us throughout our lives, so neuroscientists are intensely curious about how it happens.

New research from Washington University in St. Louis reveals that neurons in the visual cortex — the part of the brain that processes visual stimuli — change their responses to the same stimulus over ...

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, ...

New research from Washington University in St. Louis reveals that neurons in the visual cortex - the part of the brain that processes visual stimuli - change their responses to the same stimulus over ...

Every illusion has a backstage crew. New research shows the brain’s own “puppet strings”—special neurons that quietly tug our perception—help us see edges and shapes that don’t actually exist. When ...

Your ability to notice what matters visually comes from an ancient brain system over 500 million years old.

People with aphantasia—individuals who report experiencing no visual imagery at all—also showed reduced activation of the brain's visual cortex in response to sounds, according to a new study. The ...
