University of Rochester researchers published a study in eLife in which they examined a novel neural mechanism involved in causal inference as the brain detects another object in motion during ...

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

We take our understanding of where we are for granted, until we lose it. When we get lost in nature or a new city, our eyes and brains kick into gear, seeking familiar objects that tell us where we ...

Researchers have discovered a new type of neuron that plays a critical role in recognition memory. Named 'ovoid cells' for their egg-shaped cell bodies, they increase understanding of how memories ...

A recent scientific study suggests that the human body may be able to detect the presence of hidden objects even before direct contact happens, especially in ...

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. — Researchers at MIT's McGovern Institute for Brain Research have developed a new mathematical model to describe how the human brain visually identifies objects. The model accurately ...

The cover of the new book "Whole-brain modeling. Cartography of the dynamics of mind" poses the central question of what ...

The brain is not only the most complex organ of the human body, but also one of the most difficult to study. To understand the roles of different regions of the human brain and how they interact, it ...

Along with various other companies in the brain-computer interface (BCI) technology, Elon Musk's Neuralink and Bill Gates-backed Synchron have been pioneering the development of brain chips. These ...

Going to space is harsh on the human body, and as a new study from our research team finds, the brain shifts upward and ...
