A small team of brain researchers at South China Normal University, working with a colleague from the University of New South Wales, has found that the visual processing parts of the brain light up in ...

Accessing the brain for neurosurgery involves drilling and cutting that can cause deep-brain anatomy to shift or become distorted. This can create discrepancies between pre-operative imaging and the ...

Tsukuba, Japan—In our routines from waking up to commute, work, and leisure, neurons are active and processing complex matters. This research aimed to comprehend the complexities of the brain by ...

When animals move through complex visual environments, the brain cannot afford to analyze every detail one by one. Instead, it rapidly extracts the overall structure of the scene—for example, the mean ...

My last article focused, oddly enough…on focus—namely, how to help gifted students who are easily distracted by outside stimuli. Those of you with easily distracted students or children of your own ...

This study shows that mouse V1 simultaneously encodes the ensemble mean and variance of motion, providing a robust summary‐statistic representation that persists despite single-neuron variability.

It’s a bit like seeing a world in a grain of sand. Except the view, in this case, is the exquisite detail inside a bit of human brain about half the size of a grain of rice. Held in that minuscule ...
