The trial-to-trial variability of neuronal responses and the correlated response variability among neurons are modulated by visual stimulus size in a manner that depends on cortical layer, suggesting ...

The study provides new insights into the functions of ancestral cortices but also raises fundamental questions about how and when key neural computations evolved in turtles.

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

People with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) can track complex tasks, but it’s harder to switch between them. Their brains ...

This study presents a potentially valuable exploration of the role of thalamic nuclei in language processing. The results will be of interest to researchers interested in the neurobiology of language.

Expert birdwatchers have changes in their brain structure compared with novices, which probably help them better identify ...

Turtles found able to grasp that same object seen from different angles is not a different object, an important trait for ...

Suppressing laughter in solemn settings can backfire. Here’s what brain science says about why ‘church giggles’ feel unstoppable.

Explore the parallels and differences between AI architectures and the human brain's design and functionality in processing ...

According to Dr Mezher, our brain has overlapping processing and coping mechanisms for emotional and physical distress, which can make a heartache feel real at a physical level.
