Introducing premature visual experience by opening the closed eyelids early in ferrets caused many cells in the primary visual cortex to mature improperly.

“It’s possible that the mice weren’t seeing them,” admits Shin, “because the technique has involved a relatively small number ...

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 ...

The reason why the movie generated by electrodes is so blurry is because neurons in the human visual cortex do not represent tiny dots or pixels. Elon Musk recently pronounced that the next Neuralink ...

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 ...

For more than 50 years, it has been known that in the cerebral cortex of many mammals, neurons with the same function are ...

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 ...

A study analyzing individual synapses in macaques and mice shows primate neurons have two to five times fewer synapses than mice in the visual cortex. LEMONT, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Primates are ...

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 ...

Primates are generally considered “smarter” than mice. But in a surprising finding, neuroscience researchers at the University of Chicago and Argonne National Laboratory have discovered that mice ...
