The way the brain develops can shape us throughout our lives, so neuroscientists are intensely curious about how it happens. A new study by researchers in The Picower Institute for Learning and Memory ...

Every day, various types of sensory information fromthe external environment are transferred to the brainthrough different modalities and then processed to generate a series of coping behaviors. Among ...

A global consortium of scientists has created the first and most detailed "developmental maps" of the mammalian brain (from mouse to human) to date, taking the first critical steps in unraveling the ...

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

Experiments mapping individual neurons in the sensorimotor cortex of mice show that sharp transitions in functional properties can define cortical regions.

Scientists have discovered that turtles possess advanced visual processing abilities once thought to be unique to mammals.

Prolonged near work in low luminance may accelerate myopia primarily by limiting retinal illumination through sustained accommodative miosis rather than by electronic screens per se.
