According to Dr. Karolina Armonaitė, a neuroscientist from Kaunas University of Technology in Lithuania, a more precise ...

Understanding how the human brain represents the information picked up by the senses is a longstanding objective of neuroscience and psychology studies. Most past studies focusing on the visual cortex ...

"Complex processes are going on in the brain when we sleep," says Dr Karolina Armonaitė, a neuroscientist from Kaunas ...

Researchers at Leipzig University’s Carl Ludwig Institute have discovered that in the cerebral cortex, synaptic signal ...

The cerebral cortex is a sheet of neural tissue that is outermost to the cerebrum of the mammalian brain. It plays a key role in memory, attention, perceptual awareness, thought, language, and ...

Neuroscientists have revealed that a simple brain region, known for processing basic sensory information, can also guide complex feats of mental activity. The new study involving mice demonstrated ...

In the brain, not all blood flow is created equal. RIKEN researchers have developed a detailed cortical layer map of the ...

The neocortex makes up the greater area of the cerebral cortex. It is divided into different regions (the frontal, parietal, occipital, and temporal lobes) by the bone structure of the skull above ...

Even if the occipital lobe is damaged, other regions of the brain may be able to compensate and take over some of its functions. Complete damage to the primary visual cortex can cause cortical ...

Within the visual cortex of the adult brain, a small region is specialized to respond to faces, while nearby regions show strong preferences for bodies or for scenes such as landscapes.

Overconnectivity or underconnectivity between specific regions of the cerebellum and the cerebral cortex are linked to children with autism specturm disorders. Source: SDSU Marketing and ...
