Researchers have identified a brain pathway between the ventrolateral prefrontal cortex and the inferior temporal cortex which enables primates to effortlessly identify objects in their field of vision. Read More
Weight loss isn't simply a matter of willpower, it's actually connected to basic visual and olfactory cues. Read More
Researchers report it is possible to build up a rapport with a cat by simply using an eye narrowing technique. Read More
Researchers have identified a network of genes in Zebrafish that regulate the process of determining whether certain neurons will regenerate. Read More
fMRI study reveals dogs do not have a specific face area similar to that of primates. Dogs' brain activity showed little response to faces but increased in response to seeing another dog over a human. Read More
Novel technology allows researchers to understand how a fruit fly's brain processes color. Read More
Researchers conduct the first study to use nonharmful stress, like intermittent systemic hypoxia, to protect against disease in the first generation offspring in mice. Read More
When people were warned about the inaccuracy of retelling events, they were less susceptible to misinformation. Providing warnings increased reinstatement of visual activity associated with witnessing an event and decreased the reinstatement of auditory activity associated with hearing misleading post-event information.

Believing in neuromyths, especially concerning learning styles, may be dangerous to personal development. Researchers debunk the concepts surrounding neuromyths. 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
It seems that flies are as susceptible to optical illusions as humans. Turning on and off some neurons that govern motion detection in flies, researchers were able to alter the insects' perception of illusory motion. Read More
Study unravels the neural basis of freezing behaviors in fruit flies and provides a novel insight into how the brain perceives and responds to social cues. Read More
