CAMBRIDGE, MA -- When visual information enters the brain, it travels through two pathways that process different aspects of the input. For decades, scientists have hypothesized that one of these ...

Incoming information from the retina is channeled into two pathways in the brain's visual system: one that's responsible for processing color and fine spatial detail, and another that's involved in ...

Researchers identify a brain pathway in humans that enables rapid, unconscious fear responses to scary sounds, similar to ...

UC Santa Barbara neuroscientists have reconstructed the entire anterior visual pathway of a fruit fly, a complex series of neural connections between the insect’s eyes and the navigation center of its ...

Researchers have found that low-intensity sound waves directed through the skull can help mice shed conditioned fear ...

Imagine a ball bouncing down a flight of stairs. Now think about a cascade of water flowing down those same stairs. The ball and the water behave very differently, and it turns out that your brain has ...

Historical views of the brain reflect the biases of the time. The industrial age spawned mechanical explanations for the ...

The findings, in mice, add fuel to evidence that processes governing active movement and sensory processing in the brain are tightly connected A new study by researchers at the University of Oregon ...
