Faces are so important to social communication that we’ve evolved specialized brain cells just to recognize them, a new study ...
Facial expression control starts in a very old part of the nervous system. In the brain stem sits the facial nucleus, which ...
Researchers mapped the brain connectivity of 960 individuals to uncover how fast and slow neural processes unite to support complex behavior.
Neuronal responses in cortical area MT to two speeds show a robust bias toward the faster speed when stimulus speeds are slow, which could benefit figure-ground segregation in natural scenes.
A sweeping genetic screen reveals how the brain is built and exposes a hidden gene behind a newly discovered childhood brain ...
The brain’s chatter has always been partly out of reach, with electrical spikes easy to record but the chemical whispers ...
A large genetic screen has revealed how stem cells transform into brain cells, exposing hundreds of genes that make this ...
A new mathematical model sheds light on how the brain processes different cues, such as sights and sounds, during decision making. The findings from Princeton neuroscientists may one day improve how ...
The tiny worm Caenorhabditis elegans has a brain just about the width of a human hair. Yet this animal’s itty-bitty organ coordinates and computes complex movements as the worm forages for food. “When ...
