It has long been known that the brain preferentially processes information that we focus our attention on—a classic example ...

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 ...

A new study shows that environment significantly affects social behavior in zebrafish carrying a mutation linked to autism.

Neuroscientists have reconstructed the entire anterior visual pathway of a fruit fly, a complex series of connections between the insect's eyes and the navigation center of its brain. With the help of ...

The visual cortex evolved to receive, process, and integrate visual information that enters the brain through the eyes. The information that is processed in the visual cortex is then transferred to ...

Modern living and working environments are increasingly characterized by the simultaneous execution of locomotion and sensory—mostly visual—processing. Also, many job profiles require the simultaneous ...

Adults with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and typically developing (TD) individuals process visual representations of body parts in similar ways, according to a new brain imaging study published in ...
