A recent study conducted by researchers at Forschungszentrum Jülich (Germany) reveals insights into the functioning of the visual cortex of macaques. The findings, published in Cell Reports, ...

When you see a bag of carrots at the grocery store, does your mind go to potatoes and parsnips or buffalo wings and celery? It depends, of course, on whether you're making a hearty winter stew or ...

An international research team led jointly by the University Medical Center Göttingen (UMG), the University of Göttingen and ...

Scientists discovered that the visual brain may secretly "feel" what it sees, turning sight into physical experience and ...

In summary, the aim of the present investigation was to trace the cortical regions through which spatial scene information reaches the Hippocampus in humans, by using the fast neuroimaging modality ...

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 ...

People who pull an all-nighter or work back-to-back overnight shifts lose more than alertness. A growing body of primary ...

High-level visual cortex contains category-selective areas embedded within larger-scale topographic maps like animacy and real-world size. Here, we propose action as a key organizing factor shaping ...

Researchers at Neuro-Electronics Research Flanders (NERF), led by Prof. Vincent Bonin, have published two new studies uncovering how visual information is processed and distributed in the brain. The ...

Research by neuro-physiologists shows that our emotions affect our awareness of the passing of time ...
