A brain that develops in the deprivation of one sense reorganizes itself in surprising ways, revealing remarkable ...

Even mild head injuries can mean serious consequences for brain function at its most basic level. Research published in Communications Biology shows that neuroplasticity, too, has its limits. Injuries ...

Brain’s fill-in tricks: Special neurons in the visual cortex help complete missing or ambiguous patterns, creating illusions that feel real. Mindset and perception: What you see first in an illusion ...

As in larger brains, mouse visual cortex neurons with the same function cluster in columns. For over 50 years, it has been known that in the cerebral cortex of many mammals, neurons with the same ...

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 ...
