The visual cortex is the part of the brain that enables visual perception. In this area millions of nerve cells, called neurons, process stimuli from the outside world. They only react when objects ...

Even mild head injuries can mean serious consequences for brain function at its most basic level. Research published in Communications Biology shows that neuroplasticity, too, has its limits. Injuries ...

Researchers use AI "digital twins" to discover a new type of neuron in the visual cortex that perceives complex textures and object arrangements.

NYU Langone neuroscientists identified the brain region likely responsible for recognizing images after seeing them once, ...

Researchers successfully reconstruct high-quality 10-second videos from mouse brain activity using single-cell recordings and a dynamic neural encoding model.

Researchers have uncovered a surprisingly complex yet precisely ordered map of visual space in area V2 of the cortex. Challenging previously held beliefs, this novel organization redefines mapping of ...

Vision shapes behavior and, a new study by MIT neuroscientists finds, behavior and internal states shape vision. The research, published Nov. 25 in Neuron, finds in mice that via specific circuits, ...

A growing body of neuroimaging research is pinpointing exactly how psychedelic drugs hijack the brain’s visual system to ...

A neuroimaging study published in Psychiatry Research: Neuroimaging has identified hyperactivity in the superior occipital ...
