Low-frequency optogenetic stimulation of the visual region of the brain impairs an animal's ability to make fine sensory discriminations.
A new study explores the neural basis for facial recognition and identification.
When it comes to processing information about motion, neurons in the ventral intraparietal area of the brain are more flexible in switching between reference frames. The findings could be used to develop neural prosthetics designed for motion control.
An asymmetric coupling between the peripheral visual and olfactory sensory systems allows for enhanced steering response to discrete objects in mosquitos.
Researchers are investigating what makes a brain efficient and how that affects insect behavior.
A new map of the octopus visual system classifies different types of neurons in a part of the brain dedicated to vision, shedding new light on the evolution of the brain and visual systems in a more broad sense.
Due to differences in visual systems, not all animals see the world in the same way.
Moving forward helps train the brain to perceive the world 'normally', a new study reports.
Researchers have developed a new technique that helps identify the functional properties of individual synapses that link the two hemispheres of the brain.
Study may provide key insights into the visual system and perception.
A new study unites cognitive science and information theory, reporting our brains are structured to make the best possible decisions given their limited resources.
Fatty acids found in fish oil is vitally important for the developing brain, a new study reports.
