Researchers have identified three areas of the posterior cerebral cortex that bridge the brain's perception and memory systems. Read More
Study identifies a neural pathway associated with error monitoring and attention function in some psychiatric disorders such as ADHD, ASD, and schizophrenia. Researchers say the pathway could be modulated with the help of transcranial magnetic stimulation or transcranial direct current stimulation. Read More
Too many chandelier cells in the binocular region of the brain impair visual depth perception. Read More
Brain regions associated with emotional processing are not functionally connected in a mature way to areas associated with auditory and visual processing in newborns. Read More
Structural and functional coupling in visual areas of the mouse brain can be detected at sub-cellular resolution in vitro. Read More
Study provides new insight into how brain waves control the flow of information through the cortex. Read More
Study links brain structure to color perceptual function. Microscopy revealed 'hue maps,' or color palettes, in the brain that are spectrally organized arrangements of hue responses. Read More
Researchers identify three populations of neurons in layer 6 of the cortex that contribute to alertness. Read More
The inferior temporal cortex is capable of performing tasks, such as distinguishing between real and nonsense words and picking out specific letters from words. Read More
A new study sheds light on why we get tricked by a classic optical illusion. Researchers found brightness estimations occur before visual information reaches the visual cortex, probably originating in the retina. Read More
Abnormal sensory processing associated with ASD has been linked to weaker neural suppression in the visual cortex. Read More
Neuroimaging study sheds new light on how we perceive colors. Activity in higher visual cortex areas matched the colors test subjects saw. Read More
