A new study from the School of Neurobiology, Biochemistry, and Biophysics reveals a surprising insight into the operation of the ancestral brain: the visual cortex of turtles is capable of detecting ...

We see not just with our eyes, but with our brains. A mosaic of specialized areas in a brain region known as the visual cortex interprets different sights, helping us identify everything from solid ...

TL;DR• Turtles can detect unexpected visual changes regardless of viewing angle. • This ability was previously thought to exist only in mammalian ...

Neuroscientists studying the eye’s blind spot have found that brain cells in the primary visual cortex, or V1, fire even when ...

We think we understand minimalism for what it really is, but our habits say otherwise. This test reveals your hidden patterns ...

It’s not just ‘too much scrolling.’ Here’s how screen sickness affects you on a physiological level, disrupting your balance and evolutionary failsafes.

New research shows how psychedelics alter visual processing and boost memory-linked brain circuits to generate hallucinations, revealing mechanisms with therapeutic implications.

The breakthrough builds on neuromorphic engineering, a field that designs hardware modeled after the human brain. Unlike traditional processors, which separate memory and computation, neuromorphic ...

Dreams offer a unique mental escape, allowing the brain to process memories, regulate emotions, and even simulate real-life ...

A Georgia Tech researcher is turning flickering light and sound into a new tool in the fight against Alzheimer’s, using rhythmic sensory stimulation to “tune” brain waves, boost memory, and ...

New research published in BMC Psychology suggests that the structural wiring of the brain may play a significant role in how people solve problems through sudden insight. The study indicates that ...

Scientists have discovered that turtles possess advanced visual processing abilities once thought to be unique to mammals.
