Even in the primary visual cortex, a brain region named for its specialized role in processing basic features of what the ...

Researchers identify key rules for how visual cortex neurons organize thousands of synaptic inputs based on distance and clustering.

Neurons behind illusions: Researchers found IC-encoder neurons in the primary visual cortex that recreate illusory shapes based on feedback from higher brain areas. Old theories confirmed: A new study ...

Every day, various types of sensory information fromthe external environment are transferred to the brainthrough different modalities and then processed to generate a series of coping behaviors. Among ...

The 1950s were a relatively rudimentary era for experimental neurophysiology. Recording the electrical activity of neurons wasn’t uncommon, but the methods often demanded considerable patience and ...
