How Fast Can We Really Read? New Research Reveals Our Brains Process Text in a Blink
Recent studies by NYU researchers show that our brains can quickly grasp the structure of short sentences flashed on a screen, detecting basic linguistic …
Study shows simple, computationally-light model can simulate complex brain cell responses
Studying how brain cells respond to signals from their neighbors can aid the understanding of cognition and development. However, experimentally measuring the brain's activity …
The art of smell: Research suggests the brain processes smell both like a painting and a symphony
What happens when we smell a rose? How does our brain process the essence of its fragrance? Is it like a painting -- a …
Distant regions of the human brain are wired together by surprisingly few connections
Understanding how the brain functions, particularly how information is processed during different activities, is difficult without knowing how many axons are in the brain …
‘Dancing’ laboratory rats show how the brain learns, perfects, then unconsciously performs a skillful movement
Scientists have shown in rats how several brain regions need to work together to acquire a skill and replicate it flawlessly with each rat …
Open-access dataset of macaque brain published
Researchers have published a dataset that was recorded from the visual cortex of monkeys during the resting state. The dataset consists of electrophysiology data …
How a single nerve cell can multiply
Neurons are constantly performing complex calculations to process sensory information and infer the state of the environment. For example, to localize a sound or …
How does the brain keep track of things moving around us? A new piece of the puzzle
A new study has found that hippocampal neurons in rats accurately map the position of a moving object even while the rat is stationary. …
