Vision shapes behavior, and a new study by MIT neuroscientists finds behavior and internal states shape vision. The research, ...

New research shows that the prefrontal cortex doesn’t simply broadcast generic commands to sensory regions—it sends finely tailored signals that shape how the brain processes vision depending on ...

Dr. David Fitzpatrick, Scientific Director and CEO at the Max Planck Florida Institute for Neuroscience, has been awarded a $2.4 million five-year grant from the National Eye Institute (NEI) of the ...

The same brain cells linked to disorientation in Alzheimer's disease have been preserved—and even slightly increased—across ...

The prefrontal cortex region of the human brain is responsible for a range of complex functions from decision-making to certain types of memory. When something goes wrong in this part of the brain, it ...

Researchers have discovered how the brain keeps time for precise movements, revealing a neural “hourglass” mechanism between ...

Studies have shown that even a few hours of monocular deprivation can markedly improve the visual function of the deprived ...

For all the attention paid to the short and long-term physical effects of COVID-19, the disease has serious mental health consequences, too. In a new report, Yale researchers examine how the pandemic ...
