How does the brain perceive time? A new fMRI study identifies a three-stage neural relay from the visual cortex to the frontal regions that constructs our subjective experience of duration and timing.

Researchers have settled a 60-year-old debate in neuroscience, proving that the visual cortex constructs complex images from ...

A tennis return can look almost automatic. The ball comes off the racket, crosses the court in a blur, and somehow a player ...

A scientific dispute spanning six decades about fundamental mechanisms of visual perception in mammals has now been settled.

A new brain-mapping neurotechnology called Single Transcriptome Assisted Rabies Tracing (START) combines two technologies—monosynaptic rabies virus tracing and single-cell transcriptomics—to map the ...

Much as a pilot might practice maneuvers in a flight simulator, scientists might soon be able to perform experiments on a realistic simulation of the mouse brain. In a new study, Stanford Medicine ...

Scientists created the largest functional map of a brain to date using a piece of a mouse's brain. The map details the wiring that connects neurons, offering insight into brain function and ...

In a massive scientific effort, hundreds of researchers have helped to map the connections between hundreds of thousands of neurons in the mouse brain and then overlayed their firing patterns in ...

From the smallest fragment of brain tissue, the intricate blueprint of the entire brain is beginning to emerge. Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine are making several time-consuming aspects of ...
