          Brain Waves Hand Off Visual Signals Across Hemispheres

          A new study reveals how the brain unifies vision across its two hemispheres when objects cross the field of view. Researchers tracked neural spikes and brain wave frequencies, showing that different wave patterns anticipate, execute, and confirm the handoff of information from one hemisphere to the other. Gamma and beta waves managed sensory encoding, while alpha waves ramped up before the transfer and theta waves peaked after, signaling completion.

          Eye Movements Reveal Hidden Memories Beyond What People Report

          A new study demonstrated that eye movements can serve as a powerful tool for detecting memory, even when people report not remembering. In experiments, participants rewatched animation clips with surprising events, and their gaze naturally shifted toward the spot of the surprise, indicating stored memory.

          Illusion-Making Neurons Show How the Brain Constructs Reality

          Scientists have discovered specialized IC-encoder neurons that make the brain “see” illusions, such as squares or triangles that aren’t truly there. These neurons receive top-down instructions from higher brain areas and then fill in missing contours in the visual cortex, actively constructing what we perceive.

          How the Brain Uses Objects to Find Direction

          Scientists discovered how the brain uses objects to anchor our sense of direction, solving part of the mystery of spatial navigation. Experiments in mice showed that cells in the postsubiculum fired strongly when facing an object, while cells for other directions were suppressed, sharpening orientation.

          How the Brain Learns to See

          Researchers discovered how the brain develops reliable visual processing once the eyes open. Early on, visual inputs and modular brain responses are mismatched, creating inconsistent patterns.

          Eye Protein Levels Linked to Cognitive Decline

          A new study reveals that levels of the SLIT2 protein in eye and blood samples are linked to cognitive performance in middle-aged adults. Researchers found that lower SLIT2 in vitreous humor correlated with poorer memory and global cognition, while higher SLIT2 in plasma also predicted lower cognitive scores.

          Brain Rewiring Patterns May Predict Alzheimer’s Years in Advance

          Researchers have discovered that people with Alzheimer’s show unusually high neural flexibility—the constant reorganizing of brain networks—even while resting. In a large study of older adults, higher neural flexibility in the visual network predicted which healthy participants would later develop dementia.

          Eye exams could help detect Alzheimer’s disease years before symptoms arise. By studying mice with a common genetic mutation, researchers found abnormal changes in retinal blood vessels that paralleled brain changes linked to dementia risk.

          Brain’s Inner Compass Reveals How We Navigate Cityscapes

          A new study used virtual reality taxi driving tasks to uncover how the brain maintains a sense of direction in naturalistic environments. Neuroimaging showed that two brain regions consistently tracked forward-facing direction, even when visual features, task phases, and city layouts varied.

          New research reveals how the brain merges visual and auditory information to make quicker, more accurate decisions. Using EEG, scientists found that auditory and visual decision processes start independently but ultimately combine in the motor system, enabling faster reaction times.

          Researchers have discovered that whether you are right- or left-handed influences which side of your brain processes fine visual details. The new “action asymmetry hypothesis” proposes that brain specialization for high- and low-frequency visual information develops from the everyday way we use our hands.
