A computational study of cat primary visual cortex shows that motion direction and temporal frequency are encoded in subtle, ...

For more than 50 years, it has been known that in the cerebral cortex of many mammals, neurons with the same function are grouped into columns. Now, for the first time, researchers at the Max Planck ...

Nerve fibers (dark lines) from a higher visual area (A) grow into the primary visual cortex (B, green arrowheads) in the developing mouse brain, carrying “feedback” signals. UC Santa Cruz researchers ...

Vision shapes behavior, and a new study by MIT neuroscientists finds behavior and internal states shape vision. The research, published in Neuron, finds in mice that, via specific circuits, the ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 new multimodal EEG and fMRI study shows that simple flashing lights can expose deficits in the magnocellular and ...
