Researchers tested people's abilities to distinguish between complex mixtures of scents. Based on the results, the researchers calculated humans can detected more than 1 trillion odor mixtures.
Researchers find simulated blindness in adult mice sharpens the animal's hearing.
Researchers discover how two neural circuits work together to control the formation of time-linked memories.
Researchers have identified neurons in a fly's brain which tune into basic visual features to help them get their bearings.
Researchers discover children with sensory processing disorder have quantifiable differences in brain structure. The finding shows a biological basis for the disorder which sets it apart from other neurodevelopmental disorders.
Sensory information travels to two places at once; both the brain's mid-layer and the deeper layers, according to new research.
Researchers demonstrate how the transmission of sensory information from one cortical area to connected areas depends on the specific task at hand and goal directed behavior.
Genes alone don't determine how the cerebral cortex grows into separate functional areas. Input from the thalamus is also crucially required, a new study suggests.
