The somatosensory cortex is a region of the mammalian brain known to play a crucial role in the processing of sensory information, including tactile sensations, temperature and pain. While this brain ...
Spiraling waves of neural activity appear and travel in the brain. Scientists hope to learn if these rotating waves on the ...
Researchers discover rotating spiral brain waves that travel across cortical networks, acting as a space-and-time clock for ...
For most of us, watching a movie feels effortless. We follow dialogue, read facial expressions, notice music cues and ...
Spiraling waves of neural activity appear and travel in the brain. Scientists hope to learn if these rotating waves on-the-move play a global role in sensing and interpreting internal and external ...
Recent neurophysiological and neuroanatomical studies suggest a close interaction between sensory and motor processes across the neocortex. Here, I propose that the neocortex implements active ...
Our body movements profoundly impact how our brain processes sensory information. Historically, it was believed that the brain's primary motor cortex played a key role in modulating sensory ...
The brain generates internal models of the environment that describe the relationship between stimuli, events, and outcomes. Models are learned through experience and can be stored as memories. These ...
A recent study reveals that learning a new language or recovering speech relies more on brain regions that process sounds and ...
An image of a beautiful beach conjures up certain sensations -- one can imagine the sun's warmth and the sound of waves breaking on the shore. But how is it that the brain produces these impressions ...
