Vision shapes behavior, and a new study by MIT neuroscientists finds behavior and internal states shape vision. The research, ...

A research group led by Prof. Zhang Peng from the Institute of Biophysics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has revealed how ...

MIT researchers discovered that the prefrontal cortex doesn’t just send generic control signals—it tailors its messages to ...

New research shows that the prefrontal cortex doesn’t simply broadcast generic commands to sensory regions—it sends finely tailored signals that shape how the brain processes vision depending on ...

Studies have shown that even a few hours of monocular deprivation can markedly improve the visual function of the deprived ...

Understanding how the human brain represents the information picked up by the senses is a longstanding objective of neuroscience and psychology studies. Most past studies focusing on the visual cortex ...

DURHAM, N.C. -- Brain scientists will have to rethink the current theory of how the visual processing region of the brain is organized to analyze basic information about the geometry of the ...

It's universally accepted that the benefits of exercise go well beyond fitness, from reducing the risk of disease to improving sleep and enhancing mood. Physical activity gives cognitive function a ...

Cross frequency brain stimulation enhances visual recovery after stroke, improving motion processing and visual field ...

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 ...
