How does the brain see the "big picture"? A new study reveals that the primary visual cortex (V1) calculates statistical ...

When animals move through complex visual environments, the brain cannot afford to analyze every detail one by one. Instead, ...

Imagine arriving at a busy location with people moving around and a multitude of visual and other sensory cues vying for your attention. How does the brain integrate such floods of sensory information ...

Using simulations, robots, and live fish, scientists have replicated the neural circuitry that allows zebrafish to react to visual stimuli and maintain their position in flowing water. (Nanowerk News) ...

The brain modulates visual signals according to internal states, as a new study by LMU neuroscientist Laura Busse reveals. What we see is not simply just a neural representation of the pattern of ...

Using zebrafish larvae as a model organism, researchers investigated the cooperative mechanisms between the eyes and the brain that underlie visual function restoration following optic nerve injury.

A new study published in Nature suggests that the neural foundations of spatial navigation—the brain's internal "GPS"—may have emerged far earlier in evolution than previously believed. The research, ...

Neural network models that are able to make decisions or store memories have long captured scientists' imaginations. In these models, a hallmark of the computation being performed by the network is ...

Understanding how the human brain represents the information picked up by the senses is a longstanding objective of neuroscience and psychology studies. Most past studies focusing on the visual cortex ...
