We see details in only a small portion of the world in front of us, one point at a time, guided by and processed in regions of the brain detected in new research described by Christian Kiefer and his ...
The degree to which the adult human visual cortex retains the ability to functionally adapt to damage at the level of the eye remains ill-understood. Previous studies on cortical neuroplasticity ...
Glaucoma is an age-related neurodegenerative disease characterized by the gradual loss of retinal ganglion cells. Such damage disrupts the transmission of the retinal signals to the brain and ...
Recent studies have found that brain regions previously thought to only process a specific type of sensory stimuli, such as the visual cortex, can also be affected by other sensory stimuli. This might ...
Two regions of the brain have been discovered that react most strongly to images of food. Researchers have previously identified regions of the brain’s visual system that are selectively activated by ...
A team of engineers and neuroscientists has demonstrated for the first time that human brain organoids implanted in mice have established functional connectivity to the animals' cortex and responded ...
