Testing multiple computational models of the nervous system, researchers discover that just because a model can make accurate predictions about data, this doesn't always translate into the underlying logic of the biological system it represents.
A new study of the genetic factors associated with ASD draws attention to the impact autism can have on motor skills and cognitive function.
Researchers explain how odor habituation occurs. Familiar smells can be ignored in favor of new odors that are faint, but important.
The olfactory experience is subjective. The perception of odors depends on the context and prior experience of an individual.
