A closed-loop cortical implant generates functional percepts of shape, motion, and letters in two individuals with acquired ...
A new study in Neuron reveals that the brain’s executive center sends highly specialized, context-dependent instructions to the visual system rather than a generic broadcast signal. The findings ...
A new MIT study illustrates how areas within the brain’s executive control center tailor their messages in specific circuits with other brain regions to influence them with information about behavior ...
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 ...
In the brain, not all blood flow is created equal. RIKEN researchers have developed a detailed cortical layer map of the blood vessels that weave through the brain of macaque monkeys. It reveals how ...
