Without us even noticing it, our brains are the ultimate multitaskers. The brain’s prefrontal cortex can tell us when it is ...

To do so, they trained macaque monkeys — a species whose visual systems and abilities are most similar to humans — to fixate on the center of a screen while visual stimuli were presented in and ...

Multimodal monitoring of human cortical organoids implanted in mice reveal functional connection with visual cortex. Nature Communications, 2022; 13 (1) DOI: 10.1038/s41467-022-35536-3 ...

In the scans, the patient’s visual cortex was significantly lit up only when he saw the photos. In a 2010 case study, Zeman described him as having “blind imagination.” ...

The biggest surprise to us was that the visual cortex was very involved in the differences between the slow and fast learners. That suggests there's something about visual information that is key ...

Secondary visual cortex. The secondary visual cortex is also designated V2, V3, V4, V5, or Brodmann areas 18 and 19. It surrounds the primary visual cortex and receives information from it.

The visual recovery from the optic nerve and visual cortex can be temporary or permanent. Subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (SSPE) is a rare late brain complication of the measles infection.

David Eagleman, a neuroscientist at Stanford University, has proposed the idea that dreaming is necessary to safeguard the visual cortex—the part of the brain responsible for processing vision ...

Brain-imaging studies reveal that expert echolocators display responses to sound in their brain’s primary visual region, and researchers have speculated that long-term input deprivation could ...

The visual cortex, the part of the brain that receives information from the eyes, has been known to respond to sound or touch in people who are blind. Researchers have now shown it may be ...
