Using simulations, robots, and live fish, scientists at EPFL and Duke University have replicated the neural circuitry that allows zebrafish to react to visual stimuli and maintain their position in ...

A scientific dispute spanning six decades about fundamental mechanisms of visual perception in mammals has now been settled.

How does the brain see the "big picture"? A new study reveals that the primary visual cortex (V1) calculates statistical ...

A new study published in Nature suggests that the neural foundations of spatial navigation—the brain's internal "GPS"—may have emerged far earlier in evolution than previously believed. The research, ...

The brain modulates visual signals according to internal states, as a new study by LMU neuroscientist Laura Busse reveals. What we see is not simply just a neural representation of the pattern of ...

Working with week-old zebrafish larva, researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine and colleagues decoded how the connections formed by a network of neurons in the brainstem guide the fishes' gaze. The ...

Understanding how the human brain represents the information picked up by the senses is a longstanding objective of neuroscience and psychology studies. Most past studies focusing on the visual cortex ...

Using simulations, robots, and live fish, scientists have replicated the neural circuitry that allows zebrafish to react to visual stimuli and maintain their position in flowing water. (Nanowerk News) ...
