We see not just with our eyes, but with our brains. A mosaic of specialized areas in a brain region known as the visual ...

A single clear image can rewire the visual brain, making later recognition faster without relying on memory systems.

A new study from the School of Neurobiology, Biochemistry, and Biophysics reveals a surprising insight into the operation of the ancestral brain: the visual cortex of turtles is capable of detecting ...

Scientists have discovered that turtles possess advanced visual processing abilities once thought to be unique to mammals.

TL;DR• Turtles can detect unexpected visual changes regardless of viewing angle. • This ability was previously thought to exist only in mammalian ...

Whether we're staring at our phones, the page of a book, or the person across the table, the objects of our focus never stand in isolation; there are always other objects or people in our field of ...

For decades, scientists have searched for a safe way to reach deep parts of the human brain without cutting into the skull.

The 1950s were a relatively rudimentary era for experimental neurophysiology. Recording the electrical activity of neurons wasn’t uncommon, but the methods often demanded considerable patience and ...

Learn how our brains store images that help us achieve flashes of insight when looking at seemingly incomprehensible visual tests.
