Michael Savage, PhD, postdoctoral fellow, has been awarded an NEI/NIH F32 grant to study the relationship between neuronal orientation and color selectivity in the primary visual cortex. The grant is ...

“We therefore ask the following question: Is a primary sensory region like the visual cortex, where all environmental objects and events are processed, abnormally slow in its neural activity in ...

Most scientists agree that categorizing an object - like thinking of a carrot as either a root vegetable or a party snack - is the job of the prefrontal cortex ... visual system - including the ...

The extrastriate cortex is the part of the visual cortex that is located next to the striate cortex. The extrastriate cortex consists of multiple brain areas involved in processing specific ...

We asked whether rhinal (that is, entorhinal and perirhinal) cortex is necessary to associate the visual cues with reward schedules. When faced with new visual cues in reward schedules ...
