There's a line of thought that equates intelligence with “pattern recognition.” How do you stack up on this unique cognitive ...
A recent study published in Nature Neuroscience reports that retinotopic coding may determine how information from the retina is processed in the brain cortex. How does sensory signaling interact with ...
Recent research suggests that repeated "replays" of episodic memories—i.e., memories of personal episodes from our past—can help improve our ability to visually distinguish between scenes, faces, and ...
A collaboration between SISSA’s Physics and Neuroscience groups has taken a step forward in understanding how memories are stored and retrieved in the brain. The study, recently published in Neuron, ...
Memory and perception seem like entirely distinct experiences, and neuroscientists used to be confident that the brain produced them differently, too. But in the 1990s, neuroimaging studies revealed ...
Our memories are rich in detail: we can vividly recall the color of our home, the layout of our kitchen, or the front of our favorite café. How the brain encodes this information has long puzzled ...
During tactile perception, long-range intracortical top-down axonal projections are essential for processing sensory information. Whether these projections regulate sleep-dependent long-term memory ...
Our memories are rich in detail: we can vividly recall the color of our home, the layout of our kitchen, or the front of our favorite café. How the brain encodes this information has long puzzled ...
Robert Jacobs receives funding from the National Science Foundation. When asked the other day about a bakery near my home, I responded that I’d recently eaten its mouth-watering chocolate chip cookies ...
