Neuronal responses in cortical area MT to two speeds show a robust bias toward the faster speed when stimulus speeds are slow, which could benefit figure-ground segregation in natural scenes.

Researchers mapped the brain connectivity of 960 individuals to uncover how fast and slow neural processes unite to support complex behavior.

A biologically grounded computational model built to mimic real neural circuits, not trained on animal data, learned a visual categorization task just as actual lab animals do, matching their accuracy ...

Facial expression control starts in a very old part of the nervous system. In the brain stem sits the facial nucleus, which ...

The brain’s chatter has always been partly out of reach, with electrical spikes easy to record but the chemical whispers ...

Neuroscientists have long listened to the brain’s electrical spikes, but those loud crackles are only the final output of a ...

When a baby smiles at you, it's almost impossible not to smile back. This spontaneous reaction to a facial expression is part ...

Want to change your behavior? How about your consumers' behavior? A new Georgetown study reveals how overlooked cues are the ...

The tiny worm Caenorhabditis elegans has a brain just about the width of a human hair. Yet this animal’s itty-bitty organ coordinates and computes complex movements as the worm forages for food. “When ...
