This valuable study demonstrates that self-motion strongly affects neural responses to visual stimuli, comparing humans moving through a virtual environment to passive viewing. However, evidence that ...

Even mild head injuries can mean serious consequences for brain function at its most basic level. Research published in Communications Biology shows that neuroplasticity, too, has its limits. Injuries ...

Researchers have found a way to help the blind see again—by drawing on their brains. While it may seem like a strange concept, it's actually stimulates a portion of the brain's cortex—V1, the area ...

The human brain is remarkably adaptable, constantly being shaped by life experience. A striking example is that in blind people, the brain’s visual cortex is repurposed for auditory tasks—such as ...
