New research explores the many ways our sensory experiences overlaps, teaching us new ways the brain perceives ...

A new study shows that the cerebral cortex predicts the future by detecting novel stimuli and forming short-term memory ...

Our brain and eyes can play tricks on us—not least when it comes to the expanding hole illusion. A new computational model ...

Animals rely on instinctive behaviors to respond quickly to threats and opportunities. These automatic reactions, crucial for ...

A new study shows that the cerebral cortex acts as a "memory machine," constantly detecting novel stimuli to refine its predictions of the future.

The cerebral cortex is the largest part of a mammal's brain, and by some measures, the most important. In humans in particular, it's where most things happen—like perception, thinking, memory storage ...

Researchers studied the mechanisms that learn to suppress instinctive fear responses. The study has implications beyond the laboratory. Could aid in developing therapeutics for anxiety, and ...

A new study published in the Journal of Affective Disorders shows that individuals with depression exhibit slower and less ...

Researchers at the (SWC) at UCL have unveiled the precise brain mechanisms that enable animals to overcome instinctive fears.

Researcher suggest findings could help understand what happens in the brain when fear response regulation is impaired.

Researchers have unveiled the precise brain mechanisms that enable animals to overcome instinctive fears. The study in mice could have implications for developing therapeutics for fear-related ...
