Preclinical studies on animals have identified brain pathways that drive quick, protective fear responses to "scary" sounds.

For the first time, neuroscientists from Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin and the Max Planck Institute for Biological Intelligence (currently in the process of being established) have revealed the ...

Researchers identify a brain pathway in humans that enables rapid, unconscious fear responses to scary sounds, similar to visual fear shortcuts.

The processing of visual information begins with a targeted and balanced communication between nerve cells in the retina via synapses. Proteins in the vicinity of nerve cells play an important role in ...

Neuroscientists have revealed the precise connections between sensory neurons inside the retina and the superior colliculus, a structure in the midbrain. Neuropixels probes are a relatively recent ...
