The brain does not need its sophisticated cortex to interpret the visual world. A new study published in PLOS Biology ...

Our brains actively construct vision in near-darkness, blending residual light with memory and prediction. Even with minimal ...

It is tempting to think that aphantasia is a major disability, but in fact it is far from being a disability at all. First, ...

A global consortium of scientists has created the first and most detailed "developmental maps" of the mammalian brain (from ...

Ever get distracted and struggle to focus? Scientists have found that your brain uses 'circling waves' in the prefrontal ...

A study has described a brain process involving circling waves coordinated by neurons in the prefrontal cortex, which helps ...

Recently, there has been a lot of hullabaloo about the idea that large reasoning models (LRM) are unable to think. This is mostly due to a research article published by Apple, "The Illusion of ...

This valuable study uses EEG and computational modeling to investigate hemispheric oscillatory asymmetries in unilateral spatial neglect. The work benefits from rare patient data and a careful ...

Yale scientists traced gamma brain waves to thalamus-cortex interactions. The discovery could reveal how brain rhythms shape perception and disease. For more than a century, scientists have observed ...

Throbbing is one of the most common symptoms of a migraine. Pulsing sensations tend to be felt in only one side of the head and can continue for days if you're unlucky. The throbbing can get so ...

MIT researchers discovered that circling waves in the brain's prefrontal cortex help regain focus following distraction. These waves, similar to herders, guide the cortex back on track, observed in ...
