Neurons in primary visual cortex (area V1) receive input from the thalamus ... Hence, this postsynaptic activity is a measure of functional connectivity between the site where the spikes are ...

Cutting-edge depression treatments utilize cognitive control by detecting depression-linked activity in one area of the brain ...

Taken together, the findings suggest that as soon as the eyes open, signals between the different cortical areas prepare the primary visual cortex for fast and efficient vision, even in a dark ...

the visual area expanded at the expense of the frontal and somatosensory areas and vice versa.” Just like the Emx2 gene, COUP-TF1 is normally most active in the back of the cortex, with its ...

New research demonstrates neural communication in visual cortex using ... V1 to higher visual areas. The researchers state that the results of the study "suggest a functional specialization ...

The preprocessed data is transmitted to subsequent areas of the visual cortex ... A deeper understanding of the functional impairments in damaged visual cortex is important because it can provide ...

signals from the frontal cortex — the V and A cues, for example — should alert other parts of the brain, including the visual processing areas at the back of the head, to prepare to pay attention.

the scientists still don’t know whether this representation from the primary visual cortex is what the downstream brain areas are actually reading out. Over the past 10 years, neuroscientists ...

The researchers made the discovery using a new technique for decoding data from functional magnetic ... "Before, we knew that early visual areas of the cerebral cortex that are the first to ...

they examined the functional connectivity of the visual cortex. This measures how strongly the activity in the visual cortex is related to the activity in other brain regions, such as areas in the ...

Researchers of the Human Brain Project (HBP) have identified seven new areas of ... in the insular cortex. The clusters revealed significant differences in the microstructure of the anterior and ...
