Understanding how the human brain represents the information picked up by the senses is a longstanding objective of ...

The cerebral cortex, also known as gray matter, is your brain’s outermost layer and is located above the cerebrum. Learn more about its vital functions.

Surprise discovery reveals second visual system in mouse cerebral cortex Research challenges 75-year-old dogma of mammalian vision Date: January 3, 2019 Source: University of California - San ...

"In the ventral pathway (visual areas V1–V4 and the posterior inferior temporal cortex), viewing of a small foveolar spot elicits a ring of multiple (eight) foveolar representations per ...

In addition to hinting at how some of us pick up dance moves more quickly, the importance of visual processing could add to understanding the well-known link between vision problems and fall risks ...

They suggest this auditory input enables the visual system to predict incoming information and could confer a survival advantage. Professor Lars Muckli, of the Institute of Neuroscience and ...

Finally, we propose that the necessarily broad tuning of motor and visual neurons might be based on a canonical microcircuit repeated throughout different areas of cortex.

The motor evoked potential (MEP) test measures electrical signaling through the motor pathways of your nervous system. It may be used during spinal surgery.

The researchers cultivated human stem cell-derived neurons in the lab for around 80 days before grafting them into the brains of adult rats that had sustained injuries to their visual cortex.

Researchers have found a system in the brain that seems to integrate control of individual muscles with a person's intentions, emotions and entire body.

New study shows the post-rhinal cortex, appears to obtain visual data directly from an evolutionarily ancient sensory processing center at the base of the brain called the superior colliculus.
