When you see a bag of carrots at the grocery store, does your mind go to potatoes and parsnips or buffalo wings and celery? It depends, of course, on whether you're making a hearty winter stew or ...

A recent study conducted by researchers at Forschungszentrum Jülich (Germany) reveals insights into the functioning of the visual cortex of macaques. The findings, published in Cell Reports, ...

The 1950s were a relatively rudimentary era for experimental neurophysiology. Recording the electrical activity of neurons wasn’t uncommon, but the methods often demanded considerable patience and ...

In summary, the aim of the present investigation was to trace the cortical regions through which spatial scene information reaches the Hippocampus in humans, by using the fast neuroimaging modality ...

Recent research has shown how the brain may compensate for reduced visual input during walking by reinforcing functional ...

Scientists discovered that the visual brain may secretly "feel" what it sees, turning sight into physical experience and ...

An international research team led jointly by the University Medical Center Göttingen (UMG), the University of Göttingen and ...

Mouse brain activity was used to recreate 10-second videos, offering a new way to study how vision is represented in the ...

High-level visual cortex contains category-selective areas embedded within larger-scale topographic maps like animacy and real-world size. Here, we propose action as a key organizing factor shaping ...

Researchers at Neuro-Electronics Research Flanders (NERF), led by Prof. Vincent Bonin, have published two new studies uncovering how visual information is processed and distributed in the brain. The ...

Think about the last time you walked down a crowded street, biked along a rocky hiking trail, or swum in a lake. You probably didn't have to stop and think about how you were going to navigate those ...
