When we watch someone move, get injured, or express emotion, our brain doesn’t just see it—it partially feels it. Researchers ...

Vision loss has long been treated as a one-way street, a devastating endpoint rather than a problem the brain might quietly ...

It was once believed that mice had relatively poor vision. Turns out mice are far from blind – and studying how their vision is shaped by their environment and behavior can clarify the same in people.

Most folks brush it off as a quirky brain trick called face pareidolia. New findings reveal that people with visual snow ...

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 ...

Young minds are easily molded. Each new experience rewires a child's brain circuitry, adding and removing synaptic ...

Researchers at the Netherlands Institute for Neuroscience have become the first to fully characterize cell activity from a little relay station in the center of the human brain. This aids our ...

Visual auras, like those that occur in migraines, may be signs of small injuries to the brain’s visual cortex, according to a clinical trial at UC San Francisco that tracked the appearance of these ...

A new computational model of the brain based closely on its biology and physiology not only learned a simple visual category learning task exactly as well as lab animals, but even enabled the ...

A biologically grounded computational model built to mimic real neural circuits, not trained on animal data, learned a visual categorization task just as actual lab animals do, matching their accuracy ...
