Signals are processed only if they reach the brain during brief receptive cycles. This timing mechanism explains how ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

The visual thalamus is classically known to relay visual stimuli coming from the retina to the cerebral cortex. Researchers from the Max Planck Institute of Neurobiology now show that although neurons ...

Neuroscientists have revealed the precise connections between sensory neurons inside the retina and the superior colliculus, a structure in the midbrain. Neuropixels probes are a relatively recent ...

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

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 ...
