A scientific dispute spanning six decades about fundamental mechanisms of visual perception in mammals has now been settled.
How does the brain see the "big picture"? A new study reveals that the primary visual cortex (V1) calculates statistical ...
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, ...
A scientific dispute spanning six decades about fundamental mechanisms of visual perception in mammals has now been settled.
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 ...
