Researchers use compressed AI models to discover "dot-detecting" neurons in the macaque visual cortex, offering a new path for Alzheimer’s therapy.

In A Nutshell Researchers used a light-based brain imaging technique in mice to watch, in real time, what happens in the brain during a psychedelic experience and found a specific electrical rhythm ...

Neuroscientists have been trying to understand how the brain processes visual information for over a century. The development of computational models inspired by the brain's layered organization, also ...

New research shows how psychedelics alter visual processing and boost memory-linked brain circuits to generate hallucinations, revealing mechanisms with therapeutic implications.

The human brain can learn through experience to filter out disturbing and distracting stimuli—such as a glaring roadside billboard or a flashing banner on the internet. Scientists at Leipzig ...

Scientists have discovered that turtles possess advanced visual processing abilities once thought to be unique to mammals.

Children who spent a lot of time on screens before the age of two showed changes in brain development that were later linked to slower decision-making and higher anxiety during their teenage years, ...

Imagine a ball bouncing down a flight of stairs. Now think about a cascade of water flowing down those same stairs. The ball and the water behave very differently, and it turns out that your brain has ...

Critical flicker fusion (CFF), a measure of visual processing speed, predicts executive function in younger and older adults and may be helpful in predicting decline in executive function, say ...
