A new study reports the oxytocin receptor plays a special role in the ability to remember faces.
Contrary to common belief, lip reading can have a beneficial effect for those with cochlear implants. Researchers found the more a person's brain responded to lip reading, the more responsive the brain became to sound delivered through the implant.
Using neuroimaging technology, researchers discover we not only see with our eyes, but with our brains too.
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.
The visual cortex is involved in predicting future events, a new study reports.
A new study reports female guppies with smaller brain mass can distinguish between attractive males, but do not find them more appealing or choose to mate with them over less attractive guppies. Researchers say the study sheds new light of the link between mate preference and cognitive ability.
A new neuroimaging study reveals how different parts of the brain represent an object's location in depth compared to its 2D location.
Using electrocorticogram technology to capture brain waves, researchers found the meaning of what people imagine can be determined from brain wave patterns, even if the image differs from what a person is looking at.
A new study reports syntactic priming can be boosted by repeating non-verbs, as well as verbs.
Researchers discover color and shape are represented independently. A new study reports on how the brain's inferior temporal cortex processes visual information.
Researchers use novel techniques to see how the brain processes visual stimuli that do, or do not, reach our awareness.
The evolution of red color vision in a species of butterfly is linked to coordinating rhodopsin tuning.
