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 studying the ...

A new study suggests that babies are able to distinguish between the different objects they see around them at 2 months old, ...

Prolonged near work in low luminance may accelerate myopia primarily by limiting retinal illumination through sustained accommodative miosis rather than by electronic screens per se.

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

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

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

Experiments mapping individual neurons in the sensorimotor cortex of mice show that sharp transitions in functional properties can define cortical regions.

For more than a century, maps of the brain have been based on how brain tissue looks under the microscope. These anatomical maps divide the brain into regions according to structural variations in the ...

An image from the research shows axons from neurons in the ACA (red) and ORB (green) innervating the visual cortex, targeting discrete layers. Vision shapes behavior and, a new study by MIT ...
