Brain scans and signals show babies can sort images and sense rhythm, offering new insight into how infant brains are wired from the start.

Abstract: Consciousness generation and processing are vital topics in neuroscience. Researchers compare neural activation between conscious and unconscious conditions in order to identify the neural ...

Solving the problem of converting light into ideas, of visually understanding features and objects in the world, is a complex task far beyond the abilities of the world’s most powerful computers.

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

Scientists at EPFL have developed an innovative, non-invasive brain stimulation therapy to significantly improve visual function in stroke patients who have suffered vision loss following a stroke.

Each year, thousands of stroke survivors are left with hemianopia, a condition that causes loss of half of their visual field (the “vertical midline”). Hemianopia severely affects daily activities ...

This important study provides evidence supporting the idea that postnatal experience plays an instructive role in shaping the patterns of functional connectivity between extrastriate visual cortex and ...

This paper performs a valuable critical reassessment of anatomical and functional data, proposing a reclassification of the mouse visual cortex in which almost all the higher visual areas are ...

Jon covers artificial intelligence. He previously led CNET's home energy and utilities category, with a focus on energy-saving advice, thermostats, and heating and cooling. Jon has more than a decade ...

Do you ever wonder about your brain health? Especially as we start to get older, it can be very easy to start questioning if our brains are in top working order — those moments we all have of ...

New findings suggest neurons have much more functional dexterity than scientists previously realized. Our brains begin to create internal representations of the world around us from the first moment ...
