Scientists have integrated human brain organoids into the brains of rats with injuries to their visual cortices and gotten the cells to respond to stimulation, according to a new study from ...

Just as cartographers have created manageable maps of our planet and enabled travel and development, our brain maps our diverse sensory inputs to our credit-card sized cerebral cortex to enable ...

A new study from the School of Neurobiology, Biochemistry, and Biophysics reveals a surprising insight into the operation of ...

Jennifer Hoy, an assistant professor in the Department of Biology, was recently granted a National Institutes of Health (NIH) grant to pursue research on how visual stimuli are perceived. The ...

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 ...

Delving ever deeper into the intricate architecture of the brain, researchers at The Salk Institute have now described how two different types of nerve cells, called neurons, work together in tiny sub ...

Please provide your email address to receive an email when new articles are posted on . Migraine correlated with “abnormal modulation” of visual motion stimuli in different areas of the brain that ...

How do we perceive our environment? What is the influence of sensory stimuli on the peripheral nervous system and what on the brain? Science has an interest in this question for many reasons. In the ...

The study reveals that children with potential autism spectrum disorder (ASD) show a significant preference for predictable visual stimuli, spending more time observing them than typically developing ...

Researchers show that brain organoids -- clumps of lab-grown neurons -- can integrate with rat brains and respond to visual stimulation like flashing lights. In a study publishing in the journal Cell ...
