A new neuroscience review suggests traveling brain waves build visual perception, shaping what we consciously see.

Understanding how hibernation affects neurons sheds light on how neurons adapt to changing states and can inform treatment strategies for conditions in which neurons are damaged or impaired. In a new ...

Functionally analogous to biological generative models, these traveling waves allow the brain to infer sensory causes, ...

New research shows that brain changes in the size, white matter integrity and functional connectivity of the visual processing systems of six-month olds are evident well before they show symptoms of ...

It's hard for the octopus to pick just one party trick. It swims via jet propulsion, shoots inky chemicals at its foes, and can change its skin within seconds to blend in with its surroundings. A team ...

When you see a bag of carrots at the grocery store, does your mind go to potatoes and parsnips or buffalo wings and celery? It depends, of course, on whether you're making a hearty winter stew or ...

A reverse prediction test suggests that supposedly brainlike AI models may rely on visual strategies the primate brain does ...

Your brain has something surprising in common with the ocean: waves! Electrical activity washes over the brain's surface, creating what are called traveling brain waves or neural traveling waves.

Researchers show that brain organoids -- clumps of lab-grown neurons -- can integrate with rat brains and respond to visual stimulation like flashing lights. In a study publishing in the journal Cell ...
