How does the brain see the "big picture"? A new study reveals that the primary visual cortex (V1) calculates statistical ...
When animals move through complex visual environments, the brain cannot afford to analyze every detail one by one. Instead, ...
Researchers use AI "digital twins" to discover a new type of neuron in the visual cortex that perceives complex textures and object arrangements.
As in larger brains, mouse visual cortex neurons with the same function cluster in columns. For over 50 years, it has been known that in the cerebral cortex of many mammals, neurons with the same ...

Scientists reconstructed videos straight from a mouse’s brain and learned something about cognition in the process
Open the Youtube video Neuroscientists have successfully reconstructed moving images directly from the brain activity of mice ...
Cells called astrocytes are about as abundant in the brain as neurons, but scientists have spent much less time figuring out how they contribute to brain functions. A novel study by MIT researchers at ...
An illusion is when we see and perceive an object that doesn't match the sensory input that reaches our eyes. In the case of the image below, the sensory input is four Pac Man–like black figures. But ...
