A brain that develops in the deprivation of one sense reorganizes itself in surprising ways, revealing remarkable neuroplasticity. A team of researchers has studied the brain activity of young ...

In the brain, visual information is processed step by step along a hierarchy of regions. The primary visual cortex (V1) is the first cortical stage that receives visual input from the eyes and is ...

A new brain-mapping neurotechnology called Single Transcriptome Assisted Rabies Tracing (START) combines two technologies—monosynaptic rabies virus tracing and single-cell transcriptomics—to map the ...

A small team of brain researchers at South China Normal University, working with a colleague from the University of New South Wales, has found that the visual processing parts of the brain light up in ...

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 ...

Next-gen brain maps: Researchers are creating probabilistic and histological atlases from high-resolution MRI, offering standardized, detailed views of brain anatomy. Beyond static images: ...

Researchers released the first detailed map of smell receptors in the nose, organized into horizontal stripes that mirror the ...

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 identify the rostral prefrontal cortex as the essential bridge between spontaneous and executive brain networks ...
