How does the brain see the "big picture"? A new study reveals that the primary visual cortex (V1) calculates statistical ...
Already in the 1960s, Hubel and Wiesel proposed a model according to which visual perception is the result of orderly, stepwise computations in the ...
As in larger brains, mouse visual cortex neurons with the same function cluster in columns. For over 50 years, it has been known that in the cerebral cortex of many mammals, neurons with the same ...
When animals move through complex visual environments, the brain cannot afford to analyze every detail one by one. Instead, ...
Cells called astrocytes are about as abundant in the brain as neurons, but scientists have spent much less time figuring out how they contribute to brain functions. A novel study by MIT researchers at ...
To do it, the researchers used two-photon calcium imaging, a microscopy method that infers neural activity by tracking ...
An illusion is when we see and perceive an object that doesn't match the sensory input that reaches our eyes. In the case of the image below, the sensory input is four Pac Man–like black figures. But ...
How do brain regions communicate? Researchers introduce a new optogenetic method to target long-distance circuits in ...
