FeaturedNeuroscienceOpen Neuroscience Articlesvisual neuroscience·May 6, 2020How strong is your mental imagery? It might depend on how ‘excitable’ your neurons areThe strength of a person's mental imagery is associated with excitability in the prefrontal cortex and visual cortex. Highly excitable neurons in the visual cortex may reduce a person's ability to imagine mental images. The findings shed light on how aphantasia, a condition where a person can not imaging mental images, may occur. Read More
