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

A high-frequency brain signal in the frontal cortex is linked to OCD compulsions. Targeted deep brain stimulation rapidly reduced symptoms in severe cases.

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

The human eye hides a surprising secret: a blind spot at the back of the eye. Scientists wonder if this imperfection could ...

Experiments mapping individual neurons in the sensorimotor cortex of mice show that sharp transitions in functional properties can define cortical regions.

For in dreams we enter a world that is entirely our own. Let them swim in the deepest ocean or glide over the highest cloud,” ...

Psychedelic substances are increasingly being used under medical supervision to treat anxiety disorders and depression. However, the mechanisms by which these substances influence our perception and ...

The breakthrough builds on neuromorphic engineering, a field that designs hardware modeled after the human brain. Unlike traditional processors, which separate memory and computation, neuromorphic ...

Previous studies have reported that the cerebellum, which is most well-known for coordinating the body’s movements, is also ...

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