Does the deaf brain "see" with its ears? New research shows the auditory cortex maps visual space through selective deactivation, a breakthrough in neuroplasticity.

Researchers have implanted a third participant with a wireless brain device that bypasses the eyes to stimulate the visual cortex, aiming to restore artificial vision. The Intracortical Visual ...

New research from Washington University in St. Louis reveals that neurons in the visual cortex - the part of the brain that processes visual stimuli - change their responses to the same stimulus over ...

Researchers at the Champalimaud Foundation in Lisbon have for the first time managed to identify with an imaging technique ...

Researchers have uncovered a surprisingly complex yet precisely ordered map of visual space in area V2 of the cortex. Challenging previously held beliefs, this novel organization redefines mapping of ...

Understanding how the human brain represents the information picked up by the senses is a longstanding objective of neuroscience and psychology studies. Most past studies focusing on the visual cortex ...

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

Dreaming serves to protect the brain’s visual cortex from being overtaken by other sensory inputs. The brain’s peak ...

New research reveals that neurons in the visual cortex -- the part of the brain that processes visual stimuli -- change their responses to the same stimulus over time. Although other studies have ...

The cerebral cortex of your brain is the outermost layer. It's the part of the brain that appears wrinkled because it has a lot of folds. Your cerebral cortex is divided into two hemispheres. Each ...
