Researchers have discovered a novel neural mechanism involved in casual inference that helps the brain detect objects in motion while we are moving.
The brain maximizes performance while minimizing cost by using data compression to help optimize decision-making.
Study reveals the loss of smell and taste associated with the Delta wave of COVID-19 infection was a prevalent symptom and not prevented by the vaccines. Many who contracted COVID during the earlier phases of the disease experienced loss of taste and smell for months following infection.
Researchers have identified a specific neural circuit and neuropeptide responsible for relaying the sensation of a pleasant touch from the skin to the brain.
Study reveals the different ways the brain parses information through interactions of waves of neural activity.
Suppressing or blocking out physical sensations related to emotions such as sadness can hinder recovery from depression symptoms and may cause a relapse into depression.
Study sheds light on the human ability to understand how an object moves inside a container, revealing how different kinds of information can be conveyed via the sense of touch.
New research focuses on how memory can impact the perception of auditory and visual information.
Sensory patterns of children on the autism spectrum, and those who had ASD traits but were not diagnosed, grew stronger over time.
Conceptual knowledge is tied to perceptual and experiential information.
ASMR could serve as an intervention for those with elevated levels of neuroticism and anxiety, a new study finds.
Study demonstrates the importance of a specific type of connection between neurons and may also explain how ketamine shows promise in treating depression.
