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

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

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

A new streamlined AI model accurately predicts primate visual neuron responses while exposing how simple features combine ...

Our brains begin to create internal representations of the world around us from the first moment we open our eyes. We perceptually assemble components of scenes into recognizable objects thanks to ...

We see not just with our eyes, but with our brains. A mosaic of specialized areas in a brain region known as the visual ...

Whether we're staring at our phones, the page of a book, or the person across the table, the objects of our focus never stand in isolation; there are always other objects or people in our field of ...

A new study from the School of Neurobiology, Biochemistry, and Biophysics reveals a surprising insight into the operation of ...

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 ...

When researchers ask them to imagine something familiar, they might have a concept of what it is, and words and associations ...

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 ...

New Haven, Conn. — Whether we’re staring at our phones, the page of a book, or the person across the table, the objects of our focus never stand in isolation; there are always other objects or people ...
