We tend to think of a fetus's brain as a construction site guided by a blueprint imprinted in the genes. But even before ...

Every glance triggers a complex exchange of signals among millions of neurons. Some cells excite the network, others inhibit ...

The brain may have a built-in way to quickly settle disagreements between regions processing the same scene. Researchers found that matching signals between two visual areas lasted longer, while ...

A new computational model shows how cortical feedback slashes neural chaos by 93%, explaining how our vision stays stable despite fluctuating brain activity.

Sometimes the brain receives visual information that may contradict each other: for example, a person sees a face-like shape ...

Have you ever seen something that doesn't quite add up? Maybe a shape in the dark resembles a face, or an orange momentarily looks like an apple. Scientists now have a new idea about how different ...

Scientists reconstructed videos from the brain activity of mice, producing 10-second clips based only on signals from neurons ...

During slow-wave sleep, the cortex alternates between UP states of vigorous firing and DOWN states of near-silence; the Sst-Chodl neurons broke this pattern. “Their activity is even higher at the ...

BrainGate study finds motor cortex observational activity scales with how human-like an action looks, revealing distributed ...
