When you see a bag of carrots at the grocery store, does your mind go to potatoes and parsnips or buffalo wings and celery?

A new experiment suggests that the thalamus plays a key role in humans becoming consciously aware of stimuli their brain ...

Our findings reveal that multisensory perceptual learning actively engages auditory cortex (AC) neurons in both visual ... primary site of these circuit modifications. A recent study by Clayton et al.

This learning takes place in the primary motor cortex—a region of the brain responsible for planning and executing voluntary movements. From this cortical "command center," signals are sent via ...

Neurons in the rat primary auditory cortex (A1) generally cannot respond to tone sequences faster than 12 pulses per second (pps). To test whether experience can modify this maximum following rate ...

Abstract: Tools such as pens, forks, and scissors play an important role in many daily-life activities, an importance underscored by the presence in visual cortex of a set of tool-selective brain ...

Using multi-scale computational modeling, we explored whether the stimulation parameters derived from the primary motor cortex (M1) induce comparable macroscopic E-field strengths and ...

The present study assessed the linearity of both BOLD signal increments and decrements in the human primary visual cortex using a contrast adaptation ... a serious artifact appeared in functional ...
