our results have broader implications for cortical processing and provide a possible functional role of orientation maps in the visual cortex. The EN model needs a normalization component to ...

Areas of the brain that help a person differentiate between what is real and what is imaginary have been uncovered in a new ...

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 ...

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

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 ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...

Researchers have previously identified regions of the brain’s visual system that are selectively activated by faces, words and places. It is believed that these items require specialist ...
