The human brain ages less than thought and in layers – at least in the area of the cerebral cortex responsible for the sense of touch. Researchers at DZNE, the University of Magdeburg, and the Hertie ...

The cerebral cortex processes sensory information via a complex network of neural connections. How are these signals modulated to refine perception? A team from the University of Geneva (UNIGE) has ...

Researchers have settled a 60-year-old debate in neuroscience, proving that the visual cortex constructs complex images from ...

A new study has examined how the brain constantly works to make predictions about what's happening in our surroundings during consciousness, and how this process breaks down under general anesthesia.

Over the past decades, computer scientists have introduced numerous artificial intelligence (AI) systems designed to emulate the organization and functioning of networks of neurons in the brain.

How does the brain see the "big picture"? A new study reveals that the primary visual cortex (V1) calculates statistical ...

"I am often said to have identified the amygdala as the brain's 'fear' center. But the fact is, I have not done this, nor has anyone else." —Joseph LeDoux (2015) 3D illustration of both amygdala.

The human brain ages less than thought and in layers – at least in the area of the cerebral cortex responsible for the sense of touch. Researchers at DZNE, the University of Magdeburg, and the Hertie ...

When animals move through complex visual environments, the brain cannot afford to analyze every detail one by one. Instead, ...
