The way the brain develops can shape us throughout our lives, so neuroscientists are intensely curious about how it happens.

In a major leap for neuroscience, researchers have created the first functional connectome of the mouse visual cortex at cubic millimeter scale, linking neural activity to synaptic wiring across an ...

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

Whether we're staring at our phones, the page of a book, or the person across the table, the objects of our focus never stand in isolation; there are always other objects or people in our field of ...

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 ...

The human brain is often compared to a computer, but the latest wave of research shows it is closer to a self-building city, ...

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 ...

Visual auras, like those that occur in migraines, may be signs of small injuries to the brain’s visual cortex, according to a clinical trial at UC San Francisco that tracked the appearance of these ...

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 ...

Whether we’re staring at our phones, the page of a book, or the person across the table, the objects of our focus never stand in isolation; there are always other objects or people in our field of ...
