Nerve fibers on the eye surface are involved in many relevant physiological processes, from detecting and transmitting external stimuli to maintaining the integrity of the cornea. However, research on ...

The cerebral cortex processes sensory information via a complex network of neural connections. How are these signals modulated to refine perception? A team from the University of Geneva (UNIGE) has ...

The thalamus serves as a central hub for relaying sensory and motor information, and its development is governed by a tightly regulated interplay of signalling pathways and gene regulatory networks.

The central nucleus of the inferior colliculus (ICC) integrates information about different features of sound and then distributes this information to thalamocortical circuits. However, the lack of ...

The cerebral cortex processes sensory information via a network of neural connections. But how are these signals adjusted to refine our perceptions? A team from the University of Geneva (UNIGE) has ...

The ability to distinguish between different individuals is crucial for social interactions. Previous research has shown the pivotal role of the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) in social processes, as ...

In the 1860s, physician Hermann von Helmholtz did a simple experiment to understand how the world stays still during eye movements. With a still head, he closed one eye and swiveled the other to look ...

New research from Stanford University suggests that an overactive brain circuit deep in the thalamus may contribute to behaviors linked to autism. In a mouse model of the condition, suppressing ...
