Juggling tasks can feel overwhelming, especially when your brain seems to rebel against the idea of switching from one thing ...

A new study proposes a comprehensive model of cortical map formation that proposes diversity in mapping patterns across species emerges from variations in the thalamic afferent density sampling ...

Cat visual cortex contains a topographic map of visual space, plus superimposed, spatially periodic maps of ocular dominance, spatial frequency and orientation. It is hypothesized that the layout ...

The cerebral cortex receives multiple afferents from the thalamus that segregate by stimulus modality forming cortical maps for each sense. In vision, the primary visual cortex maps the multiple ...

In a new study in Nature Communications, researchers have reported a theory of how visual maps form in the brain. In higher order mammals' visual cortex, the neurons form a pattern in the cortical ...

The map is a resource for other neuroscientists, giving details that could guide future experiments. And it could teach us something about the evolution of brains and visual systems more broadly, too.

Scientists have been studying how visual space is mapped in the cerebral cortex for many decades under the assumption that the map is equal for lights and darks. Surprisingly, recent work ...

Enabling the new visual style in Google Maps for iOS doesn’t require more than a few seconds, though I’d personally recommend you to use the aforementioned automatic setting.

Blind people have brain map for 'visual' observations too Date: May 17, 2017 Source: KU Leuven Summary: Is what you're looking at an object, a face, or a tree? When processing visual input, our ...

Human visual cortex is organized into distinct visual field maps whose locations and properties provide important information about visual computations.

What cities are most at risk of a strong earthquake? Here's what USGS map shows The color-coded map is meant to provide a visual to allow for geologists and engineers to prepare for the looming ...
