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 ...

A single clear image can rewire the visual brain, making later recognition faster without relying on memory systems.

Experiments mapping individual neurons in the sensorimotor cortex of mice show that sharp transitions in functional properties can define cortical regions.

In a safety and feasibility trial of a cortical visual prosthesis, researchers observed progressive recovery of natural vision in a patient with complete blindness caused by irreversible optic nerve ...

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.

For decades, scientists have searched for a safe way to reach deep parts of the human brain without cutting into the skull.

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

That sharp flinch during a violent movie scene is familiar to many people. A hand slams, a body falls, and your own muscles ...
