At birth, infant visual cortex connectivity resembles that of blind adults, while lifetime visual experience enhances long-range functional connectivity between visual cortices, sensorimotor systems, ...

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

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 ...

Open the Youtube video Neuroscientists have successfully reconstructed moving images directly from the brain activity of mice, marking a major shift from broad brain scans to tracking thousands of ...

Vision shapes behavior and, a new study by MIT neuroscientists finds, behavior and internal states shape vision. The research, published Nov. 25 in Neuron, finds in mice that via specific circuits, ...

Scientists used a compact AI model to predict how visual cortex neurons respond to images, revealing hidden patterns in perception.

New ultra–high-field brain scans reveal hidden body maps inside the visual system, showing how the brain weaves sight and touch together to build a unified sense of ...

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