Requiring a discerning eye, mathematical precision, and keen sense of aesthetics, map making is a unique application of both art and science. Though the scale may differ, neuroscientists who study ...
Even mild head injuries can mean serious consequences for brain function at its most basic level. Research published in Communications Biology shows that neuroplasticity, too, has its limits. Injuries ...
The brain does not need its sophisticated cortex to interpret the visual world. A new study published in PLOS Biology demonstrates that a much older structure, the superior colliculus, contains the ...
Just as cartographers have created manageable maps of our planet and enabled travel and development, our brain maps our diverse sensory inputs to our credit-card sized cerebral cortex to enable ...
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 ...
Even mild head injuries can mean serious consequences for brain function at its most basic level. Research published in Communications Biology shows that neuroplasticity, too, has its limits. Injuries ...
The cerebral cortex of your brain is the outermost layer. It's the part of the brain that appears wrinkled because it has a lot of folds. Your cerebral cortex is divided into two hemispheres. Each ...
Researchers have uncovered a surprisingly complex yet precisely ordered map of visual space in area V2 of the cortex. Challenging previously held beliefs, this novel organization redefines mapping of ...
