We see not just with our eyes, but with our brains. A mosaic of specialized areas in a brain region known as the visual ...

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 ...

A new study from the School of Neurobiology, Biochemistry, and Biophysics reveals a surprising insight into the operation of the ancestral brain: the visual cortex of turtles is capable of detecting ...

For decades, scientists have searched for a safe way to reach deep parts of the human brain without cutting into the skull.

A single clear image can rewire the visual brain, making later recognition faster without relying on memory systems.

Scientists have discovered that turtles possess advanced visual processing abilities once thought to be unique to mammals.

New research shows how psychedelics alter visual processing and boost memory-linked brain circuits to generate hallucinations, revealing mechanisms with therapeutic implications.

Learn how our brains store images that help us achieve flashes of insight when looking at seemingly incomprehensible visual tests.

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 ...
