The 1950s were a relatively rudimentary era for experimental neurophysiology. Recording the electrical activity of neurons wasn’t uncommon, but the methods often demanded considerable patience and ...

People born without sight apparently process math in their visual cortex. The findings come from a newly published Johns Hopkins study, and add support to the idea that when it comes to "nature versus ...

An image from the research shows axons from neurons in the ACA (red) and ORB (green) innervating the visual cortex, targeting discrete layers. Vision shapes behavior and, a new study by MIT ...

Cells called astrocytes are about as abundant in the brain as neurons, but scientists have spent much less time figuring out how they contribute to brain functions. A novel study by MIT researchers at ...

“Neuralink can essentially help bridge communications from the cortex, past the point in the neck or spine, where the nerves ...
