Vision feels like a camera feed from the eyes, but new work on a hidden brain circuit suggests what we see is constantly ...

MIT scientists found that what we see is strongly influenced by how alert or active we are. Parts of the brain responsible ...

Vision shapes behavior, and a new study by MIT neuroscientists finds behavior and internal states shape vision. The research, ...

New research shows that the prefrontal cortex doesn’t simply broadcast generic commands to sensory regions—it sends finely tailored signals that shape how the brain processes vision depending on ...

MIT researchers discovered that the prefrontal cortex doesn’t just send generic control signals—it tailors its messages to ...

By Priyanjana Pramanik, MSc. New ultra–high-field brain scans reveal hidden body maps inside the visual system, showing how ...

The visual cortex of your brain processes visual information from the eyes, and its main function is to receive, segment, and integrate visual input. Therefore, if you can correctly interpret these 27 ...

Eagleman is a neuroscientist at Stanford University. His latest book is Livewired: The Inside Story of the Ever-Changing Brain. Vaughn PhD is a neuroscientist at UCLA. When he was two years old, Ben ...

A new study in mice shows that briefly anesthetizing the retina of the weaker eye can restore its neural influence in the adult visual cortex.

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 ...
