A growing body of neuroimaging research is pinpointing exactly how psychedelic drugs hijack the brain’s visual system to ...

A neural decoding approach reconstructed videos from activity in the visual cortex of mice. The findings reveal how neural signals encode visual scenes and highlight how brain representations can ...

Researchers use compressed AI models to discover "dot-detecting" neurons in the macaque visual cortex, offering a new path for Alzheimer’s therapy.

Researchers use AI "digital twins" to discover a new type of neuron in the visual cortex that perceives complex textures and object arrangements.

NYU Langone neuroscientists identified the brain region likely responsible for recognizing images after seeing them once, ...

Every illusion has a backstage crew. New research shows the brain’s own “puppet strings”—special neurons that quietly tug our perception—help us see edges and shapes that don’t actually exist. When ...

The visual cortex is the part of the brain that enables visual perception. In this area millions of nerve cells, called neurons, process stimuli from the outside world. They only react when objects ...

People who lose their visual imagination after a stroke share damage to a single neural circuit. A new analysis maps these ...

A neuroimaging study published in Psychiatry Research: Neuroimaging has identified hyperactivity in the superior occipital ...
