University of Rochester researchers report low levels of electrical stimulation delivered to areas of the brain responsible for movement can instruct an appropriate response, replacing signals for sensory processing.
Researchers have identified neurons in a fly's brain which tune into basic visual features to help them get their bearings.
According to a new study, babies' brains respond not only to the presence of visual stimuli, but also the expectation of the stimuli.
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.
According to researchers, the ambient scent of foods can help to reduce cravings and satisfy the appetite.
A new study reports flies can silence visual input generated by their own movement. The findings may help advance understanding of how ongoing behavior can influence visual processing.
Researchers in China successfully used CRISPR gene editing to produce five monkey clones from the fibroblasts of a donor monkey with disease phenotypes.
In rats, high-sugar diets lower the ability of the taste system to sense sweetness. However, curbing high sugar in the diet allowed sensitivity to sweetness to return.
Inhibition of the P2X4 protein receptor in sensory neurons decreases sensitivity to touch, a new study reports. The findings could have implications for the development of new topical treatments for psoriasis and dermatitis.
Multisensory integration is an important skill for the developing brain because it helps shape how effectively we make sense of our surroundings, a new study reports.
Researchers report the auditory cortex may encode noises differently that was previously thought.
Researchers have discovered a novel neural mechanism involved in casual inference that helps the brain detect objects in motion while we are moving.
