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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), the researchers monitored the participants' brain activity as they ...

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

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 ...
