"Even at the first stages of object perception, the neurons are sensitive to much more complex visual stimuli than had previously been believed, and that capability is informed by feedback from higher ...

The human brain depends on a steady stream of energy to keep its complex network of neurons and support cells functioning.

The communication between the brain and bodily organs is fundamental to emotion regulation and overall mental health.

New research reveals that neurons in the visual cortex are far more adaptable than previously thought, responding dynamically to complex stimuli during object recognition tasks.

Viruses are known to use the genetic machinery of the human cells they invade to make copies of themselves. As part of the ...

Our brains begin to create internal representations of the world around us from the first moment we open our eyes. We ...
