A new neuroscience review suggests traveling brain waves build visual perception, shaping what we consciously see.

Your brain has something surprising in common with the ocean: waves. Electrical activity washes over the brain's surface, ...

When you see a bag of carrots at the grocery store, does your mind go to potatoes and parsnips or buffalo wings and celery? It depends, of course, on whether you're making a hearty winter stew or ...

Your brain has something surprising in common with the ocean: waves! Electrical activity washes over the brain's surface, creating what are called traveling brain waves or neural traveling waves.

The development of the human brain is one of the most complex biological processes. During the first years of life, enormous ...

Functionally analogous to biological generative models, these traveling waves allow the brain to infer sensory causes, ...

As in larger brains, mouse visual cortex neurons with the same function cluster in columns. For over 50 years, it has been known that in the cerebral cortex of many mammals, neurons with the same ...

The brain does not need its sophisticated cortex to interpret the visual world. A new study published in PLOS Biology demonstrates that a much older structure, the superior colliculus, contains the ...

Two regions of the brain have been discovered that react most strongly to images of food. Researchers have previously identified regions of the brain’s visual system that are selectively activated by ...
