A Nature Neuroscience study finds that special "illusion-encoding" neurons in the brain's visual cortex fill in missing ...
New research suggests that consciousness originates in the subcortex, and is polished by the cortex and cerebellum.
Contact sport athletes showed significant brain injury in an autopsy study before signs of CTE appeared. Athletes who experienced repeated head hits had 56% fewer neurons at the depths of the cortical ...
About 10.6 percent of people are left-handed. It is still not well understood why some people prefer to write, draw, and perform other activities with their left hand, while most people prefer to use ...
A groundbreaking study reveals that aging alters not just the size but the shape of the human brain, reshaping regions in ways linked to memory and reasoning decline.
A brain imaging technique developed by Columbia researchers has identified areas in the brain's cerebral cortex—just behind the forehead—that are most damaged by the repetitive impacts from heading a ...
British scientists at Oxford have developed a novel brain scan technique that may identify Alzheimer’s disease far earlier than previously possible — before any visible symptoms emerge. The method ...
Individual retinal ganglion cells are singularly activated in the living primate retina via an adaptive optics scanning light ophthalmoscope.
Miniaturized fluorescence microscopes are a key element in the development of endoscopes and implantable devices, but developers face inherent trade-offs relating to footprint, field of view and ...
