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

Neuroscientists have reconstructed the entire anterior visual pathway of a fruit fly, a complex series of connections between the insect's eyes and the navigation center of its brain. With the help of ...

Digital engagement is neither inherently benign nor uniformly harmful among young people. Later in life, it can fortify specific cognitive skills through intentional practice.

Recent neuroscience research shows that our brain’s organization of the visual world occurs much earlier than previously thought by scientists. As early as 2 months of age, babies exhibit clear ...

The neural mechanisms of many symptoms associated with migraine have yet to be elucidated. New research suggests that a non-image-forming retinal pathway and signals from the dura mater contribute to ...

Relying on fruit flies, several scientists are achieving new insights into how neurons in the brain are connected and send signals to control movements. A closer understanding of these neurological ...

Experts convened by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) have identified five elements of a brain-based condition that has emerged as a leading cause of vision impairment starting in childhood in ...

Chewing a bagel while reading the morning news, speaking while driving, dislodging a piece of food stuck between two teeth: In these and other tasks, the tongue and the brain coordinate intricate ...
