They're mysterious cells in the brain's visual cortex called OPCs. The visual cortex processes everything we see. Incoming visual information is relayed to this outer layer of the brain via ...

Neuroscientists have discovered how the brain distinguishes between visual motion occurring in the external world from that ...

First, we prepared astrocyte cultures in petri dishes by extracting immature astrocytes from the cerebral cortex of newborn mice and expanding the cell population. To track the development of ...

A new mathematical model sheds light on how the brain processes different cues, such as sights and sounds, during decision ...
