A new, non-invasive neuroimaging technique allowed researchers to investigate the visual sensory thalamus, a brain area associated with visual difficulties in dyslexia and other disorders.
It's not just the cerebral cortex, it is the entire auditory pathway that represents sounds according to prior expectations.
Completed intentions are often not deactivated immediately but continue to affect people, especially when it comes to implementing new intentions.
Critical aspects of hippocampal function can be reversed in old age, or compensated for throughout life, with the help of neural stem cells.
Increased activity of the ventromedial geniculate body indicates the processing of auditory information begins before the auditory pathways reach the cerebral cortex.
Contrary to popular belief, developmental dyslexia is not caused by a structural dysfunction in the cerebral cortex, researchers report. A new study reveals developmental dyslexia is the result of a decrease in white matter connectivity between the mPT and MGB.
A new study explores the underlying neural processes at play when embarking in short term task learning.
