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 ...

Scientists have integrated human brain organoids into the brains of rats with injuries to their visual cortices and gotten the cells to respond to stimulation, according to a new study from ...

Every day, companies, products and media are competing for consumer's attention. We give it away constantly, often without realizing it. While attention is intangible and difficult to quantify, once ...

Jennifer Hoy, an assistant professor in the Department of Biology, was recently granted a National Institutes of Health (NIH) grant to pursue research on how visual stimuli are perceived. The ...

Does the deaf brain "see" with its ears? New research shows the auditory cortex maps visual space through selective deactivation, a breakthrough in neuroplasticity.

A brain that develops in the deprivation of one sense reorganizes itself in surprising ways, revealing remarkable ...

Researchers show that brain organoids -- clumps of lab-grown neurons -- can integrate with rat brains and respond to visual stimulation like flashing lights. In a study publishing in the journal Cell ...
