New research shows that the prefrontal cortex doesn’t simply broadcast generic commands to sensory regions—it sends finely tailored signals that shape how the brain processes vision depending on ...

Our body movements profoundly impact how our brain processes sensory information. Historically, it was believed that the brain's primary motor cortex played a key role in modulating sensory ...

Ultra-high-field brain scans reveal integrated maps of vision and touch, highlighting the brain's role in embodied perception ...

For decades, neuroscientists have been trying to pinpoint the neural underpinnings of behavior and decision-making. Past ...

The authors analyzed spectral properties of neural activity recorded using laminar probes while mice engaged in a global/local visual oddball paradigm. They found solid evidence for an increase in ...

New studies reveal consciousness is older and more widespread than believed, with birds showing signs of awareness and ...

General anesthesia evokes a dual mystery: How does it disrupt consciousness, including sensory perception, and what might that say about the nature of consciousness. A new study led by researchers at ...
