How do neurons in the brain ensure we see both the forest and the trees? New research by the Alessandra Angelucci Laboratory at the John A. Moran Eye Center at the University of Utah offers insight ...

The trial-to-trial variability of neuronal responses and the correlated response variability among neurons are modulated by visual stimulus size in a manner that depends on cortical layer, suggesting ...

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 ...

Elon Musk recently pronounced that the next Neuralink project will be a "Blindsight" cortical implant to restore vision: "Resolution will be low at first, like early Nintendo graphics, but ultimately ...

Just as cartographers have created manageable maps of our planet and enabled travel and development, our brain maps our diverse sensory inputs to our credit-card sized cerebral cortex to enable ...
