The MICrONS Project set out to create a massively dense reconstruction of the structural connections and functions of an entire millimeter volume of mouse visual cortex, along with new artificial ...

Even mild head injuries can mean serious consequences for brain function at its most basic level. Research published in Communications Biology shows that neuroplasticity, too, has its limits. Injuries ...

Microstimuation, training, and the participant’s motivation, may have played a relevant role in the partial recovery of natural vision. The BaLM test was repeated once a month throughout the entire ...

Through the looking glass: If this week's science news is anything to go by, it won't be long before Big Brother is peering inside our heads. Coming on the heels of US scientists revealing a GPT model ...

Over the following months, the patient followed a daily visual training routine of at least 30 minutes, including standardized exercises of increasing complexity to assess light perception, spatial ...

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 unwittingly ...

The 1950s were a relatively rudimentary era for experimental neurophysiology. Recording the electrical activity of neurons wasn’t uncommon, but the methods often demanded considerable patience and ...
