The human brain can learn through experience to filter out disturbing and distracting stimuli—such as a glaring roadside billboard or a flashing banner on the internet. Scientists at Leipzig ...

Brain circuits are known to gradually form and develop after birth as the result of both innate biological processes and life ...

Every day, various types of sensory information fromthe external environment are transferred to the brainthrough different modalities and then processed to generate a series of coping behaviors. Among ...

Neuroscientists have artificially increased neuronal activity in part of the brain by briefly shining light on genetically modified neurons. They saw that this manipulation selectively enhanced ...

Scientists at EPFL have developed an innovative, non-invasive brain stimulation therapy to significantly improve visual function in stroke patients who have suffered vision loss following a stroke.

Glaucoma patients show slower visual response times, indicating impaired visual signal processing rather than motor or attention deficits. The study involved glaucoma patients and healthy controls, ...

In a recent study published in Scientific Reports, researchers investigated the dynamic visual-somatosensory cortical interactions in human infants. Prior studies have shown that infants are sensitive ...
