Extensive research in human cognitive neuroscience has enabled detailed documentation of the functional organization of the cortex. This organization represents regions that are specifically engaged ...
CAMBRIDGE, MA -- When visual information enters the brain, it travels through two pathways that process different aspects of the input. For decades, scientists have hypothesized that one of these ...
Imagine a ball bouncing down a flight of stairs. Now think about a cascade of water flowing down those same stairs. The ball and the water behave very differently, and it turns out that your brain has ...

Action video gamers have enhanced functional and structural connectivity in the dorsal visual stream
A neuroimaging study of action video game players revealed that these individuals tend to have enhanced functional and structural connectivity in the dorsal visual stream of the brain. More ...
In neuroscience, ‘things’ are considered more rigid objects like a ball, while ‘stuff’ is more like a liquid. “When you’re looking at some fluid or gooey stuff, you engage with it in [a] different way ...
A new study finds parts of the brain’s visual cortex are specialized to analyze either 'things' like solid objects or 'stuff,' flowing materials like water or sand. This image is an example of what ...
