We don't precisely know how the physical matter in our brains translates into thoughts, sensations, and feelings. But an ...

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

In visual cortex, neural correlates of subjective perception can be generated by modulation of activity from beyond the classical receptive field (CRF). In macaque V1, activity generated by ...

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 ...

The mysteries of the brain have captivated scientists for more than 100 years, most notably illustrated in the detailed drawings of neuroanatomist Santiago Ramón y Cajal. These drawings and his ...

Neuronal responses in cortical area MT to two speeds show a robust bias toward the faster speed when stimulus speeds are slow, which could benefit figure-ground segregation in natural scenes.

Neuroscientists have been trying to understand how the brain processes visual information for over a century. The development ...
