Just as cartographers have created manageable maps of our planet and enabled travel and development, our brain maps our diverse sensory inputs to our credit-card sized cerebral cortex to enable ...

Humans, fish and, most likely, other species rely on identical visual features -- color, size, orientation, and motion -- to quickly search for objects. Humans, fish and, most likely, other species ...

The visual thalamus is classically known to relay visual stimuli coming from the retina to the cerebral cortex. Researchers now show that although neurons in the mouse visual thalamus connect to both ...

How do we perceive our environment? What is the influence of sensory stimuli on the peripheral nervous system and what on the brain? Science has an interest in this question for many reasons. In the ...

The study reveals that children with potential autism spectrum disorder (ASD) show a significant preference for predictable visual stimuli, spending more time observing them than typically developing ...

The 1950s were a relatively rudimentary era for experimental neurophysiology. Recording the electrical activity of neurons wasn’t uncommon, but the methods often demanded considerable patience and ...

One of the questions I’m frequently asked is, “How do visual triggers relate to misophonia?” While it’s an excellent question, the unfortunate truth is that we don’t yet have a definitive answer. In ...
