Researchers have settled a 60-year-old debate in neuroscience, proving that the visual cortex constructs complex images from raw thalamic data. Using high-resolution synaptic imaging, the study ...

A scientific dispute spanning six decades about fundamental mechanisms of visual perception in mammals has now been settled. Researchers at TUM have succeeded in observing the visual information flow ...

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 ...

A team of researchers recently found that three parts of the brain are especially relevant to the experience of consciousness. After scanning the brains of subjects, the researchers identified reduced ...

Much as a pilot might practice maneuvers in a flight simulator, scientists might soon be able to perform experiments on a realistic simulation of the mouse brain. In a new study, Stanford Medicine ...
