A series of recent brain-imaging studies has begun to explain a central mystery of the psychedelic experience: why people on ...

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

Psychedelics appear to reshape how the brain builds reality by dampening incoming visual signals and boosting internal memory ...

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

When researchers ask them to imagine something familiar, they might have a concept of what it is, and words and associations ...

Researchers use compressed AI models to discover "dot-detecting" neurons in the macaque visual cortex, offering a new path for Alzheimer’s therapy.

The eyes are often referred to as the “windows to the soul.” In fact, there is a grain of neurobiological truth to this. An international research team from the Universities of Göttingen and Tübingen, ...

The trial-to-trial variability of neuronal responses and the correlated response variability among neurons are modulated by visual stimulus size in a manner that depends on cortical layer, suggesting ...

Neuroscientists studying the eye’s blind spot have found that brain cells in the primary visual cortex, or V1, fire even when ...
