Neuroscientists have been trying to understand how the brain processes visual information for over a century. The development ...

Brain circuits for vision develop without any kind of input from the retina in zebrafish. Animals possess specialized networks of neurons in the brain that receive signals about the outside world from ...

Side-by-side images show a 45,000-pixel rendering of a cat image at left, and a simulation representing an image rendered by 45,000 electrodes in a brain implant at right. (Credit: Ione Fine / ...

For decades, restoring sight after severe eye damage sat firmly in the realm of science fiction. Now a wave of converging ...

Elon Musk recently pronounced that the next Neuralink project will be a “Blindsight” cortical implant to restore vision: “Resolution will be low at first, like early Nintendo graphics, but ultimately ...

Warmth and cold shape body awareness, emotions, and mental health in ways science is only starting to understand.

As we enter a new year, social media feeds are often flooded with ‘vision boards’ that highlight collages of dream cars, ...

The American Academy of Neurology (AAN) has outlined its vision for optimizing brain health by 2050. The new strategy includes a focus on preventive neurology, accelerating scientific discovery, and ...

In my recent post "Of Spider-Man Movies and Other 3D Thrillers," I shared a question-and-answer exchange with Dr. Barry Sandrew, founder and CTO/CCO of Legend3D, a leading innovator in 2D-to-3D ...

Imagine that you are a professor of neurobiology who, for the past seventeen years, has been lecturing to your students on the conventional wisdom about the brain. Then, quite unexpectedly, you ...

Animals possess specialized networks of neurons in the brain that receive signals about the outside world from the retina and respond by initiating appropriate behavior. Researchers at the Max Planck ...
