NYU Langone neuroscientists identified the brain region likely responsible for recognizing images after seeing them once, ...

Researchers use compressed AI models to discover "dot-detecting" neurons in the macaque visual cortex, offering a new path for Alzheimer’s therapy.

A new streamlined AI model accurately predicts primate visual neuron responses while exposing how simple features combine ...

A new study from the School of Neurobiology, Biochemistry, and Biophysics reveals a surprising insight into the operation of ...

We see not just with our eyes, but with our brains. A mosaic of specialized areas in a brain region known as the visual ...

When researchers ask them to imagine something familiar, they might have a concept of what it is, and words and associations ...

Whether we're staring at our phones, the page of a book, or the person across the table, the objects of our focus never stand in isolation; there are always other objects or people in our field of ...

Every illusion has a backstage crew. New research shows the brain’s own “puppet strings”—special neurons that quietly tug our perception—help us see edges and shapes that don’t actually exist. When ...

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 ...
