Researchers in Japan built a miniature human brain circuit using fused stem-cell–derived organoids, allowing them to watch ...

New research shows that a deeply ancient part of the brain can process visual information on its own, without help from the cortex. Scientists found that the superior colliculus, a structure shared by ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: Scientists showed that it’s possible to reproduce an entire cerebral cortex inside one of the world’s fastest computers. The model represents the ...

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

When doctors review brain scans, each detail of the picture—each pixel or voxel—must be painstakingly labeled. The cerebral cortex, hippocampus, ventricles, and other structures all need to be marked ...

To study how a key chemical neuromodulator affects signaling in the brain's cortex, Garrett Neske, PhD, has received a three-year, $300,000 grant from the Whitehall Foundation, a nonprofit ...

Researchers say study findings may lead to a more promising future for cell therapy targeting stroke and other neurological disorders.

Our survival depends upon our ability to observe the world around us accurately and reliably. Disturbances in visual perception occur in a range of psychiatric and neurodevelopmental diseases, ...

An intense international effort to improve the resolution of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for studying the human brain has culminated in an ultra-high resolution 7 Tesla scanner that records up to ...

When a baby smiles at you, it's almost impossible not to smile back. This spontaneous reaction to a facial expression is part ...
