A new study published in the Journal of Affective Disorders shows that individuals with depression exhibit slower and less ...

The cerebral cortex is the largest part of a mammal's brain, and by some measures the most important. In humans in particular, it's where most things happen-like perception, thinking, memory storage ...

The findings, published in Cell Reports, demonstrate that the primary visual cortex, also called V1, in monkeys shows two different patterns of brain activity depending on whether their eyes are ...

Researchers at the Sainsbury Wellcome Centre (SWC) at UCL have unveiled the precise brain mechanisms that enable animals to ...

The GABA (γ-aminobutyric acid)-ergic interneurons of the cerebral cortex are a diverse population of cells. Their diversity is manifested in every aspect of their phenotype, as evidenced by their ...

However, a region in the primary visual cortex shows sensitivity to computational curvature, regardless of the task. "It's entirely possible that when a person looks at an image, they form a ...

This is a term which means that there is damage to the brain (but not necessarily the primary visual cortex) affecting how it processes the visual environment. Below is a variety of information on how ...

Current and anticipated projects range from single photoreceptor stimulation and mapping in the intact retina, to functional characterization of the distinct populations of neurons that project from ...

Rats perceive the world with a complexity that modern artificial neural networks struggle to match. This is the finding of a recent study published in the journal Patterns by the Visual Neuroscience ...

Researchers have unveiled the precise brain mechanisms that enable animals to overcome instinctive fears. The study in mice could have implications for developing therapeutics for fear-related ...
